Verified step by step guidance

Understand the context of aerobic respiration, which is a process used by cells to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, with oxygen as the final electron acceptor.

Identify the role of oxygen in the electron transport chain, where it acts as the final electron acceptor, allowing the chain to continue functioning and produce ATP.

Recognize that NADH is an electron carrier that donates electrons to the electron transport chain, but it is not the final electron acceptor.

Note that glucose is the initial source of electrons in cellular respiration, as it is broken down to release energy, but it is not the final electron acceptor.

Understand that carbon dioxide is a byproduct of the Krebs cycle in cellular respiration and does not play a role as an electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
