oxidative phosphorylation
This term describes a highly specialized biochemical process occurring within the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is a technical term used almost exclusively in biological, medical, and chemical academic contexts to describe the final stage of cellular respiration.
Because it refers to a specific metabolic pathway, the term is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not have a plural form and is typically used in the singular to describe the overall mechanism of ATP production.
