Some human cells, such as nerve cells, are restricted to aerobic respiration to recycle nadh and fadh2. if these cells are deprived of oxygen, then available hint(s)some human cells, such as nerve cells, are restricted to aerobic respiration to recycle nadh and fadh2. if these cells are deprived of oxygen, then gradient formation would continue, but atp synthase function would stopatp production would continue because the cell would perform fermentationoxidative phosphorylation would come to a halt because there wouldn't be any oxygen to "pull" the electrons down the transport chainglycolysis could still continue indefinitely
