Question

Chemiosmotic hypothesis given by Peter Mitchell proposes the mechanism of

• A. Synthesis of ATP.
• B. Synthesis of FADH${}_2$.
• C. Synthesis of NADH.
• D. Synthesis of NADPH.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Synthesis of ATP.

Peter Mitchell proposed a hypothesis known as the chemiosmotic hypothesis that an electrochemical concentration gradient of protons across a membrane could be utilized to make ATP. He linked this process to osmosis, the diffusion of water across a membrane, this is the reason it is called chemiosmosis.

So the correct option is 'Synthesis of ATP'.
