Question

Terminal oxidation is essential for oxidation of ______.

Options

• C0₂

• H₂0

• ATP

• Coenzymes

Answer 1

Terminal oxidation is essential for oxidation of Coenzymes.

Explanation:

The electron carriers in ETS are continually reduced and oxidized in a cycle. At the end of terminal oxidation, oxygen takes the electron and is reduced to water. This is required in order to oxidize NADH2 and FADH2 and regenerate NAO or FAD.
