Respiration in which the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is molecular oxygen (o2). Respiration in which the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is an inorganic molecule other than molecular oxygen (o2); for example, a nitrate ion or. Fermentation the enzymatic degradation of carbohydrates in which the final electron acceptor is an organic molecule, atp is synthesized by substrate-level phosphorylation, and o2 is not required.
