The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis of oxidative phosphorylation...
The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed because
Options
- AThere is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondiral membrane toward adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
- BHigh energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins
- CADP is pumped out of the matrix into the intermembrane space
- DA proton gradient forms across the inner membrane
Correct answer
D. A proton gradient forms across the inner membrane
Step-by-step solution
Proton motive force develop between perimitochondrial space and matrix across inner mitochondrial membrane.
