oxidative phosphorylation are very efficient means of generating ATP from glucose. However, molecular O2 is required. This is the reason that humans need to breathe air, and oxidative phosphorylation can proceed only as fast as the respiratory and cardiovascular systems can deliver O2 to tissues. Therefore, even tissues with mitochondria rely on anaerobic glycolysis for some needs. The process of oxidative phosphorylation is also a major contributor to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
