Answer:

Oxidative phosphorylation

Step-by-step explanation:

This takes place mostly in the organelle called the mitochondrion.

Oxidation of nutrients in cells by enzymes results in the release of the chemical energy present in the molecular energy.

The NADH and succinate products of the citric acid cycle are also oxidized. All this series of reactions takes place in the Electron transport system.The energy from the oxidation is used to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hence the name oxidative phosphorylation.
