The manufacture of ATP using energy is derived from the redox reactions of the electron transport chain

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, let's remember that cellular respiration accounts for the set of metabolic reactions and processes that are carried out in the cells of organisms to turn biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and subsequently release waste products.

In such a way, the manufacture of ATP using energy is derived from the redox reactions of the electron transport chain; the third main step inb cellular respiration.

Best regards.
