Oxidative phosphorylation
PHOSPHORYLATION OF ADP TO ATP THAT ACCOMPANIES THE OXIDATION OF A METABOLITE THROUGH THE OPERATION OF THE RESPIRATORY CHAIN

Oxidative phosphorylation (UK , US ) or electron transport-linked phosphorylation or terminal oxidation is the metabolic pathway in which cells use enzymes to oxidize nutrients, thereby releasing chemical energy in order to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In eukaryotes, this takes place inside mitochondria.
