The process in which NADH + H+ and EADH, are oxidized in the electron transport system and the energy released is used to synthesize ATP from ADP and P.
The enzymatic phosphorylation of ADP to ATP coupled to electron transport from a substrate to molecular oxygen. The synthesis (production) of ATP from the starting materials of ADP and inorganic phosphate (orthophosphate).
Two processes whereby water and ATP are synthesized simultaneously: (1) respiration joins hydrogen and oxygen ions to make water, and (2) ATP synthesis uses some of the energy so released to synthesize ATP. These coupled processes occur in the mitochondria of the cell.
A biochemical process that employs the energy discharged from the oxidation of nutrients for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
