Detailed explanation-1: -During oxidative phosphorylation, each pair of electrons donated by the NADH produced in mitochondria is thought to provide energy for the formation of about 2.5 molecules of ATP, after subtracting the energy needed for transporting this ATP to the cytosol.
Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Most of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesized during glucose metabolism is produced in the mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation. This is a complex reaction powered by the proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane, which is generated by mitochondrial respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -In general, the main energy source for cellular metabolism is glucose, which is catabolized in the three subsequent processes-glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA or Krebs cycle), and finally oxidative phosphorylation-to produce ATP.
