During aerobic respiration, the passing on of the electrons removed as a part of the hydrogen atom to molecularO2occurs in the __________.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Mechanism of ATP production : When the electrons pass from one electron carrier to another carrier

(from complex I to IV) in ETS, they are coupled to ATP synthase (complex V) and thus ATP are synthesized.

Molecule oxidized in ETSNumber of ATP produced
1 molecule of NADH3 ATP
1 molecule of FADH 22 ATP

Role ofO2: The role of oxygen is limited to the terminal stage of the aerobic process but is vital - it acts as

the final hydrogen acceptor and it drives the whole process by removing H+ from the system.
