Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in order to produce energy in the form of ATP.
It occurs after chemiosmosis, in which a concentration gradient of hydrogen ions is created in the mitochondria between the matrix and the intermembrane space.
As the hydrogen ions flow across this gradient, ADP and Pi are combined and ATP is produced.
Hope this helps!

Photophosphorylation is most similar to?
oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration
In fermentation is ATP produced by substrate level phosphorylation or oxidative phosphorylation or both or neither?
ATP is produced by substrate level phosphorylation during glycolisis. There is no oxidative phosphorylation in fermentation since it's an anaeorobic respiration.
What is the opposite of oxidative phosphorylation?
The opposite of phosphorylation is dephosphorylation. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dephosphorylation
What occurs in the in the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
The passing on of excited electrons from protein to protein. This is known as the electron transport chain that occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.
What processes produces 36 ATP?
Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation
What is oxygens purpose in the body?
It is the final electron acceptor is the oxidative phosphorylation pathway.
Photophosphorylation is most similar to?
oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration
Another name for electron transport chain is?
oxidative phosphorylation
What type of phosphorylation does not require a membrane?
oxidative phosphorylation
In fermentation is ATP produced by substrate level phosphorylation or oxidative phosphorylation or both or neither?
ATP is produced by substrate level phosphorylation during glycolisis. There is no oxidative phosphorylation in fermentation since it's an anaeorobic respiration.
What stage produces the most ATP when glucose is completely oxidized to carbon dioxide and water?
oxidative phosphorylation
What is the opposite of oxidative phosphorylation?
The opposite of phosphorylation is dephosphorylation. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dephosphorylation
Where does oxidative phosphorylation take place in a eukaryote?
Mitochondria
Is oxidative phosphorylation necessary for metabolism function?
Oxidative phosphorylation is necessary for most metabolic function. It is highly efficient and the primary means by which ATP is produced, which provides the energy for metabolism.
Does Wikepedia offer in depth information on Oxidative Phosphorylation?
Yes, Wikipedia does offer in depth information on Oxidative Phosphorylation. They break it down into many parts and have several diagrams to explain what it is.
Where does oxidative phosphorylation take place in a prokaryote?
Cell membrane
Products of oxidative phosphorylation?
ATP is created by the movement of protons back into the mitochondrial matrix through complex V which is ATP synthase. The effect that electron transport has on oxidative phosphorylation is that the two processes are tightly coupled, stopping electron transport will ultimately stop oxidative phosphorylation.
