In mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, does the electron transport chain (ETC) require oxygen to function as it normally does, and why?
A
No; oxygen is only required by ATP synthase, not by the ETC complexes.
B
No; the ETC can use NADH as the terminal electron acceptor in the absence of oxygen.
C
Yes; oxygen is required because it directly phosphorylates ADP to form ATP at complex IV.
D
Yes; oxygen is the terminal electron acceptor (reduced to water), allowing electron flow through complexes I–IV to continue.
