Oxidative phosphorylation metabolism ultimately yields:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process in which ATP is synthesized due to the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH2 to oxygen, resulting in water as a byproduct. This process occurs in the mitochondria and yields a large amount of ATP. Therefore, the correct option is C - ATP and water. The other options, such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen, are byproducts or substrates of other metabolic processes, and glucose is typically the starting molecule for oxidative phosphorylation but is not the final product.
