Identify the correct statements w.r.t . the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration.
(a) The role of oxygen is limited to the terminal stage of the aerobic respiration.
(b) The presence of oxygen is vital, since it drives the whole process by removing hydrogen from the system.
(c) Oxygen acts as the final hydrogen acceptor.
Although the aerobic process of respiration takes place only in the presence of oxygen, the role of oxygen is limited to the terminal stage of the process. Yet, the presence of oxygen is vital, since it drives the whole process by removing hydrogen from the system. Oxygen acts as the final hydrogen acceptor.
