Which of the following is correctly related to aerobic respiration?
Options
- AOxygen acts as the first electron acceptor.
- BCytochrome c located towards inner side (matrix) of inner mitochondrial membrane.
- COxidation of 1 molecule of NADH gives rise to 2 molecules of ATP.
- DThe role of oxygen is limited to the terminal stage of the process.
Correct answer
D. The role of oxygen is limited to the terminal stage of the process.
Step-by-step solution
1 NADH is equivalent to 3 ATP. Oxygen is the terminal electron or proton acceptor in ETC. Cytochrome c is located towards IMS i.e. on the outer side of inner membrane of the mitochondria.
