Q. Oxidative phosphorylation involves simultaneous oxidation and phosphorylation to form

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

In oxidative phosphorylation, ATP is formed, as the electrons are transferred from NADH or FADH2 to O2 by electron transport chain. Oxidative phosphorylation is the synthesis of energy-rich ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate, which is connected to oxidation of reduced coenzymes produced in cellular respiration.
