LETS LEARN ABOUT THE OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION

This process occurs in the mitochondria.

There are mainly three processes involved in the breakdown of food.

1. GLYCOLYSIS
2. THE KREBS CYCLE
3. OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION

The Krebs Cycle and Glycolysis together produce only 4 ATP molecules and 6 very high energy molecules which breakdown in the

Oxidative Phosphorylation , NADH or Nicotine Amide Adenine Dineucleotide Hydride , and 2 FADH2 or Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide Hydride molecules.

Given below is a picture of the Oxidative phosphorylation reactions.
