Components Functions A. CF0 1. Embedded in the thylakoid membrane; facilitates proton diffusion. B. CF1 2. Catalyzes the formation of ATP by utilizing the energy from the proton gradient. C. ATP Synthase 3. Composed of CF0 and CF1; synthesizes ATP using the energy from the proton gradient. D. Proton Gradient 4. Created by the movement of protons across the thylakoid membrane; drives ATP synthesis.

Options

  1. AA - 4, B - 2, C - 3, D - 1
  2. BA - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1
  3. CA - 2, B - 1, C - 4, D - 3
  4. DA - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2

Correct answer

A. A - 4, B - 2, C - 3, D - 1

Step-by-step solution

A - 4: CF0 is embedded in the thylakoid membrane and facilitates proton diffusion. B - 2: CF1 catalyzes the formation of ATP by utilizing the energy from the proton gradient. C - 3: ATP synthase is composed of CF0 and CF1 and synthesizes ATP using the energy from the proton gradient. D - 1: The proton gradient is created by the movement of protons across the thylakoid membrane and drives ATP synthesis.
