2. What is Oxidative phosphorylation?
• Oxidative phosphorylation also called electron transport-linked
phosphorylation
• It is a metabolic pathway in which cells use enzymes to oxidize
nutrients, thereby releasing the chemical energy stored within in
order to produce ATP.
• During oxidative phosphorylation, electrons are transferred from
electron donors to electron acceptors such as oxygen in redox
reactions.
