Hey Buddy!
Here is your answer.

Phosphorylation is an important mechanism by which the activity of proteins can be altered after they are formed. A phosphate group (PO3−4) is added to a protein by specific enzymes called kinases. This phosphate group is usually provided by ATP, the energy carrier of the cell.

Oxidative phosphorylation (or OXPHOS in short) is the metabolic pathway in which cells use enzymes to oxidize nutrients, thereby releasing energy which is used to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In most eukaryotes, this takes place inside mitochondria.

Answer:

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process in which ATP is formed as a result of the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH 2 to O 2 by a series of electron carriers. ... For example, oxidative phosphorylation generates 26 of the 30 molecules of ATP that are formed when glucose is completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O.
