Question

10 pts Oxygen is so called the electron acceptor, for its role in cellular respiration. What would happen in an eukaryotic cell without oxygen? Select all that apply The electrons won't be transferred to oxygen, thus, there will be no movement of clectrons Electrons from clectron carriers, such as NADH and FADH2 cannot be accepted anymore. @ NADH and FADH2 won't be axidized back into NAD+ and FADH, and will accumulate There will be no movement of protons from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space. ATP production will continue as normal Next Previous

Explanation / Answer

may be 2nd and 3rd.

oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain in the mitochondria.

If there is no oxygen to accept electrons, then the electron transport chain stops working and the high energy molecules NADH+H and FADH2 cannot be converted back into NAD and FAD. Hence NADHH+ and FADH2 will accumulate.
