When does oxygen become involved in the process of aerobic respiration ?
From the figure we can understand that oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor.Oxygen is needed in the last step of cellular aerobic respiration.The hydrogen atoms produced in glycolysis and Krebs cycle with the help of oxygen is converted into water and drive the production of ATP.If oxygen does not pick up the last electron,it will be accumulated without getting passed and the energy production halts.
