The primary role of oxygen in cellular respiration is to:

1. yield energy in the form of ATP as it is passed down the respiratory chain.
2. act as an acceptor for electrons and hydrogen, forming water
3. combine with carbon, forming CO2.
4. combine with lactate, forming pyruvate.

Aerobic respiration produces more usable chemical energy than fermentation, because fermentation involves
(1) formation of lactic acid 

(2) complete oxidation of food

(3) partial oxidation of food 

(4) evolution of CO2 and alcohol
