The rate of oxidative phosphorylation needs to be regulated to meet the body’s needs and in response to changing conditions

The rate of oxidative phosphorylation needs to be regulated to meet the body’s needs and in response to changing conditions. 1) Describe how levels of NADH and ADP control rates of oxidative phosphorylation. Why is it important the levels of NADH and ADP are closely linked to rates of oxidative phosphorylation? 2) Explain how cells would respond to reduced oxygen availability (hypoxia), and specifically address how oxidative phosphorylation is regulated.
