Oxygen is important in respiration as the terminal electron and hydrogen ion acceptor in oxidative phosphorylation, allowing it to continue.
L'ossigeno รจ importante nella respirazione in quanto accettore terminale di elettroni e ioni idrogeno nella fosforilazione ossidativa, consentendone il proseguimento.
