Detailed explanation-1: -Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in and around the inner mitochondrial membrane. The form and function of cristae facilitate the energy production of this process. Oxidative phosphorylation includes the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -the intermembrane space: holds protons that are pumped out of the matrix during electron transport, the inner mitochondrial membrane: organizes the electron transport chain and holds ATP synthase, the cristae: expand the surface area of the inner mitochondrial membrane, enhancing its ability to produce ATP, and.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the electron transport chain, electrons are passed from one molecule to another, and energy released in these electron transfers is used to form an electrochemical gradient. In chemiosmosis, the energy stored in the gradient is used to make ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oxidative phosphorylation has two parts: the electron transport chain (ETC) and chemiosmosis. The ETC is a collection of proteins bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane and organic molecules, which electrons pass through in a series of redox reactions, and release energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -The electron transport chain is a series of chemical reactions at the end of the cellular respiration process. This chain occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane or cristae of the cell.
