Practice question
Question
Which molecule is the final electron acceptor in oxidative phosphorylation?
Explanation
Oxygen (Oâ‚‚) is the scientifically accurate answer to this question. Within the study of Bioenergetics, this concept is well-established through extensive research and is documented in standard scientific literature. The specific properties, mechanisms, or characteristics of Oxygen (Oâ‚‚) directly address what is being asked. Among the other options, NADH, FADHâ‚‚, and ATP do not correctly answer this question because they either refer to different concepts, describe properties of other molecules or processes, or represent common misconceptions about this topic.
