(1) NADP+ is the final electron acceptor of the light-dependent reactions. NADP+ is reduced to NADPH by ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase using electrons derived from the photon-induced splitting of H2O at photosystem II.
(2) In the light-independent or 'dark' reactions the NADPH that is formed is used to further reduce 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). Most of the G3P formed is used to regenerate ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, while a small amount is used for biosynthesis of energy-rich molecules such as sugars, fats and amino acids. The net effect is that the original electrons (reducing power), derived from the initial splitting of water, are stored in the C-H bonds of these molecules.

A final electron acceptor that is a stronger oxidizing agent than the last oxidizing agent in the electron transport chain is needed to remove low-energy electrons from the chain so that new high energy electrons can enter the chain to generate more ATPs. Without a final electron acceptor the electron transport chain will be backed up with low energy electrons and eventually no ATP can be generated since no new electron can enter the chain.
Yes. Oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
No, oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain.
ATP-synthase
False. Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain.
The final electron acceptor is oxygen.

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transfer chain. Hydrogen ( protons ) come down their concentration gradient and through the ATP sythase making ATP. Then they, with the electrons oxygen accepts, become H2O.

An electron transport chain (ETC) couples a reaction between an electron donor (such as NADH) and an electron acceptor (such as O2
The final hydrogen acceptor in the electron transport chain is Oxygen. It comes from the ionization of water. Hope this helps. The final hydrogen acceptor in the electron transport chain is Oxygen. It comes from the ionization of water. Hope this helps.

In aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is (usually) oxygen. Sometimes it can be sulfur or nitrogen in the absence of oxygen (as in extreme environments) in extremophiles.
