where does the process of oxidative phosphorylation get the energy to form atp?
chemical energy
during oxidative phosphorylation, electrons are transferred from electron donors to electron acceptors such as oxygen, in redox reactions. these redox reactions release energy, which is used to form atp. in eukaryotes, these redox reactions are carried out by a series of protein complexes within the inner membrane of the cell's mitochondria, whereas, in prokaryotes, these proteins are located in the cells' intermembrane space. these linked sets of proteins are called electron transport chains. in eukaryotes, five main protein complexes are involved, whereas in prokaryotes many different enzymes are present, using a variety of electron donors and acceptors.
oxidative phosphorylation
bullet::::- oxidative phosphorylation – the last stage of the aerobic system produces the largest yield of atp out of all the stages – a total of 34 atp molecules. it is called oxidative phosphorylation because oxygen is the final acceptor of the electrons and hydrogen ions that leave this stage of aerobic respiration (hence oxidative) and adp gets phosphorylated (an extra phosphate gets added) to form atp (hence phosphorylation).
