Final answer:

When electrons are released from electron acceptor molecules, they are finally accepted by oxygen, producing water. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose and produces carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants produces glucose and oxygen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The electrons released from the electron acceptor molecules are finally accepted by oxygen to form water.

During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down, and the products produced are carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide is transported out of the cell, while water is used to generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

The process of photosynthesis in plants produces glucose as a product. Oxygen is also produced and released into the atmosphere.
