An oxidative phosphorylation is the formation of

Options

A. `NADPH_2` in respiration
B. ATP in respiration
C. `NADPH_2` in photosynthesis
D. ATP in photosynthesis

Answer

B

Explanation

In oxidative phosphorylation, the energy molecules `NADH + H^(+)` synthesized during glycolysis and Kreb’s cycle are used for synthesis ATP . This is accomplished through a system of electron carriers which are known as cytochromes which carry out the synthesis of ATP through electron transport system located on the inner membrane of mitochondria.
