HEY MATE HERE IS THE ANSWER.....
Oxidative phosphorylation is the process in which ATP is formed as a result of the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH2 to O 2 by a series of electron carriers. This process, which takes place in mitochondria, is the major source of ATP in aerobic organisms.

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.
