The oxidative phosphorylation pathway (OXPHOS) refers to the energy released during the process of reducing oxygen to water through the cytochrome complex existing in the respiratory chain. This promotes ATP synthesis and cellular energy conversion. Under normal circumstances, the oxidative phosphorylation pathway is one of the processes necessary to maintain the energy metabolism balance of animal and plant cells, and it can be found in many organelles and tissues.
