oxidative respiration is aerobic respiration.
Invovles electron transport chain / oxidative phosphorylation
oxygen acts as a final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain.
in the absence of oxygen, there is nothing to accept the electrons, thus the electron transport chain cannot continue to accept high energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 since there is accumulation of electrons.
This leads to a stop of oxidative phosphorylation
hence oxidatve respiration cannot occur without oxygen...

well.. oxidative Respiration unable to occur with out oxygen, as it needs oxygen for it to work....unless it is anaerobic (absence of oxygen) respiration or fermentation. As Oxidative Respiration is the second stage of celluar respiration.

Cellular respiration............
ATP by Breaking Down Organic Molecules is known as cellular respiration is the process in which food molecules are broken down to release energy........the (ATP) synthase
