Question

What is meant by oxidative phosphorylation?

Answer 1

oxidative phosphorylation is the metabolic pathways in which cells enzymes to oxidize nutrients there by releasing energy which is used to reform atp in most eukaryotes this takes place inside mitochondria. almost all aerobic organisms carry out oxidative phosphorylation.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Oxidative phosphorylation is the conversion of ADP into ATP by electron transport system.
• Phosphorylation takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane via the ATP synthetase complex when the hydrogen protons pass through it.
• The energy essential for phosphorylation is derived from the oxidation-reduction phenomena in respiration.
• Thus the process is known as oxidative phosphorylation.
