Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion The gradient is broken down due to the movement of protons across the membrane to the stroma through the transmembrane channel ADP ATP of the F0 of the ATPase. The ATPase enzyme consists of two parts: F0 and F1. The breakdown of the gradient provides enough energy to cause a conformational change in the F1 particle of the ATPase, which makes the enzyme synthesize ATP.
So, the correct option is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
