Final electron acceptor in respiratory chain is:

Correct answer: B. Oxygen

  • A. Cytochrome A
  • B. Oxygen
  • C. Cytochrome a3
  • D. Cytochrome C

Explanation

The final acceptor of electrons in the respiratory chain is oxygen (O2). During oxidative phosphorylation, which is the last stage of cellular respiration, electrons are transferred through a series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane (or the plasma membrane in prokaryotes). This process is part of the electron transport chain.
