Question

Is oxidative phosphorylation and ETC the same or they are different, if so how?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be same.

Explanation:

The oxidative phosphorylation is the process of the formation of the ATP molecules in the aerobic respiration.  

It is the last phase of the aerobic respiration which produces ATP due to the transfer of electrons from the reducing equivalents- NADH and FADH₂ to oxygen to form metabolic water. During this transport, it generates a proton gradient which helps in the formation of the ATP.

The oxidative phosphorylation is oxidative as it transfers electrons to the oxygen through the electron transport chain. Thus, the oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport chain are the same.
