Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context of aerobic respiration: Aerobic respiration is a biological process in which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
Identify the role of each element in biological processes: Oxygen is crucial for aerobic respiration as it acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.
Consider the other elements listed: Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Carbon are essential for various biological functions, but they are not specifically required only for aerobic respiration.
Recognize that Oxygen is unique to aerobic respiration: While Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Carbon are involved in many cellular processes, Oxygen is specifically needed for the process of aerobic respiration to occur.
Conclude that Oxygen is the element required only in aerobic respiration, as it is essential for the efficient production of energy in the presence of glucose.
