The synthesis of ATP in the presence of oxygen is called?
Correct answer: C. Oxidative phosphorylation
- A. Respiration
- B. Calvin cycle
- C. Oxidative phosphorylation
- D. Chemiosmosis
Explanation
Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which ATP synthesis is coupled to the movement of electrons through the mitochondrial electron transport chain and the associated consumption of oxygen.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
