why do i need a cmp lab test? This is one of the most common blood tests available and it gives you a tremendous amount of information about your health. what is tested for in a comprehensive metabolic panel (cmp)?
Electron carriers are reduced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to NADH + H+ and FADH2. These carriers then donate electrons and protons to the electron carrier proteins of the electron transport chain. The final electron acceptor is oxygen.Together with oxygen, electrons and protons form molecules of water.our protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane form the electron transport chain. These complexes exist in a descending order of energy. Here the electron carriers come along to drop off all their electron and proton cargo that they picked up during the glycolysis and citric acid cycle stages.
In cell respiration, the oxygen acts as the final electron  acceptor. The electrons will not move through the transport chain  in the mitochondrion without oxygen at the end. This is because of  the electronegativity of oxygen. Without oxygen, cellular  respiration would be anerobic and very inefficient.
