Biology what is the final electron acceptor in the etc? Asked by bookragstutor 13 years ago 8/20/2012 9:52 AM Last updated by anonymous 12 years ago 12/4/2012 11:49 PM
In the etc cycle the final electron acceptor is half of a diatomic oxygen molecule. This molecule is diminished when it gains two electrons attached to two hydrogens (making a molecule of water as a by product).
