Assertion : F1F_1 particles are present in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Reason : An electron gradient formed on the inner mitochondrial membrane, forms ATP.

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
  3. CIf assertion is true but reason is false
  4. DIf both assertion and reason are false.

Correct answer

C. If assertion is true but reason is false

Step-by-step solution

Oxysomes or F0−F1\mathrm{F}_0-\mathrm{F}_1 particles are present on the inner mitochondrial membrane. The F1\mathrm{F}_1 headpiece of oxysome functions as ATP-synthetase which synthesises ATP from ADP and ip (inorganic phosphate) using energy from proton gradient or ATP synthetase becomes active in ATP formation only when there is a proton gradient having high concentration of protons on F0\mathrm{F}_0 side (base) as compared to F1F_1 side (head piece)ofF0−F1of F_0-F_1 particles or oxysomes.
