Hi there,

Hope you are doing good.

Please find your answer below:

 

Oxygen is required in the cellular respiration in the electron transporter chain (ETC).

It serves as the final electron acceptor of the ETC by facilitating the movement of electrons down the chain. This leads to the production of ATP (i.e. energy currency of the cell).
