Oxidative phosphorylation is named so because ATP synthesis requires electrons to flow through the ETC, which depends on oxygen. H+ combines with oxygen to form water, releasing energy not used for ATP production.
La fosforilación oxidativa se llama así porque la síntesis de ATP requiere que los electrones fluyan a través de la ETC, lo que depende del oxígeno. Los H+ se combinan con el oxígeno para formar agua, liberando energía que no se utiliza para la producción de ATP.
| Front | why called oxidative phosph, and if H+ combines with O2 |
|---|---|
| Back | ADP phosphorylising into ATP requires e- to flow through ETC, which requires O2 to operate, and so its called oxidative phosphorylation, H+ can combine with O2 to form water and release energy in formation of bonds, but this energy not used to form ATP |
