Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes and the plasma membrane in bacteria.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes and the plasma membrane in bacteria. This is due to differences in the membranes and the components involved in electron transport and ATP synthesis. In eukaryotes, the mitochondrial membrane provides the necessary environment for oxidative phosphorylation to occur, while in bacteria, this process occurs in the plasma membrane which is also involved in other cellular processes.
