Normally oxidative phosphorylation is coupled with the:
Correct answer: C. Respiratory electron transport chain
- A. Photosynthetic electron transport chain
- B. Non-cyclic electron transport chain
- C. Respiratory electron transport chain
- D. Cyclic electron transport chain
Explanation
Oxidative phosphorylation is the final stage of cellular respiration and takes place in the mitochondria. It is directly linked to the respiratory electron transport chain, where electrons are passed through a series of protein complexes, ultimately driving the synthesis of ATP. The correct option, the respiratory electron transport chain, reflects this process. The other options refer to mechanisms within photosynthesis that do not couple with oxidative phosphorylation.
