Oxidative Phosphorylation is the metabolic process needed
to provide energy for the cell. It is the final stage in the process of
cellular respiration, where acetyl CoA produce energy precursors that leads to the
phosphorylation of ADP, producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and in return
provide energy. Moreover, when the body lacks oxygen, fermentation happens.
During glycolysis, only two ATP molecules are produce and the pyruvate is
reduce to NADH forming lactate. Meanwhile, in alcoholic fermentation pyruvate
is converted to ethanol, releasing CO2. Lastly, the co-enzyme that is involved
in photosynthesis is NADP+ where extra phosphate group is attached.
