Solution

The correct option is A 1940
  • The ATP- ADP system is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane and produces ATP through the chemiosmotic mechanism, first proposed by Peter Mitchell.
  • ATP was discovered in 1929 by Karl Lohmann and co-workers. ATP was proposed to be the main energy transfer molecule in the cell by Fritz Albert Lipmann in 1940, that is, being the intermediary molecule between energy-yielding (exergonic) and energy-requiring (endergonic) reactions.
  • So, the correct answer is '1940'
