Question

The terminal electron acceptor during electron transport system is (A) oxygen (B) cyto a3 (C) cyto c (D) plasto quinone

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Oxygen is the terminal acceptor of electron in electron transport system, which in the presence of proton forms a water molecule (1/2) O 2+2 e longrightarrow O 2- 2 H ++ O 2- longrightarrow H 2 O

Q. The terminal electron acceptor during electron transport system is

oxygen

cyto $a_{3}$

cyto c

plasto quinone

Oxygen is the terminal acceptor of electron in electron transport system, which in the presence of proton forms a water molecule
$\frac{1}{2} O_{2} + 2 e ⟶ O^{2 -}$
$2 H^{+} + O^{2 -} ⟶ H_{2} O$
