biochem Q

what is coupled respiration?😕

This is a good one.
It is Oxidative Phosphorylation in the inner membrane of mitochondria. Method of ATP synthesis. The reactions of the electron-transport chain are tightly coupled to oxidative phosphorylation, the conversion of ADP to ATP by a reaction that is both an oxidation and phosphorylation.
In other words:
The series of biochemical reactions that passes electrons from reduced coenzymes to oxygen and is coupled to ATP formation.
