Cellular Respiration-AI Podcast
from Metabolism Made Easy · host A J Ghalayini, Ph.D.
Cellular respiration is a combination of two processes: the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation which occur in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Its purpose is to oxidize the high energy molecules NADH and FADH2 produced from catabolism and ultimately drive the synthesis of ATP by ATP synthase. Importantly, most of the oxygen we inhale is consumed by the electron transport chain.
