    Last electron acceptor in respiration is :

    A) \[{{O}_{2}}\]                                     

    B)  \[{{H}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[C{{O}_{2}}\]                                  

    D)  \[NADH\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Electron transport chain takes place in inner milochondrial membrane and consist of flavins, ubiquinone cytochromes and oxygen as electron carriers. Sequence of electron transport: \[NAD2H\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}FAD\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}CoQ\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\] \[Cytochrome-b\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}Cyt-{{c}_{1}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}Cyt-a\] \[\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}Cyt-{{a}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}{{O}_{2}}\] So, oxygen is the last electron acceptor in respiration.
