Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxidative phosphorylation is a process of ATP production in the presence of oxygen, which occurs in the mitochondria of human cells. It involves the transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen, generating a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which drives ATP synthesis.
