Oxidative phosphorylation

Oxidative phosphorylation: definition, steps and features

Introduction Oxidative phosphorylation is the production of ATP by chemiosmosis. It is the terminal oxidation of aerobic respiration. During the respiration process, food is oxidized in the cell, and energy is produced. This energy regulates the physiological activities of the organism. When food is oxidized in the presence of oxygen, it is called aerobic respiration.
