What is oxidative phosphorylation ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

During electron transport in inner mitochodrial membrane protons `(H^(+))` accumulate in the outer chamber a proton gradient. Due to this gradient protons forcefully pass through `F_0-F_1` particle of the matrix and synthesise ATP molecules. This process is called oxidative phosphorylation. Actually the energy is derived from oxidation of oxygen molecules.
