Oxidative Phosphorylation is the mechanism by which electron transport is coupled to synthesis of ATP the creation of a proton gradient that accompanies electron transport is the driving force behind synthesis of ATP the complete oxidation of a glucose molecule results in the synthesis of 29.5 to 31 molecules of ATP depending on what other rxs are happening Oxidative Phosphorylation - is the mechanism by which electron transport is coupled to synthesis of ATP - the creation of a proton gradient that accompanies electron transport is the driving force behind synthesis of ATP - the complete oxidation of a glucose molecule results in the synthesis of 29.5 to 31 molecules of ATP depending on what other rxs are happening
