Question

Which of the following diagram represents ATP synthesis in mitochondria by chemiosmotic hypothesis?
IM = Inner membrane
M = Matrix
OC = Outer Chamber

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C


This diagram represents ATP synthesis in mitochondria by chemiosmotic hypothesis.
IM = Inner membrane;
M = Matrix;
OC = Outer Chamber.

ATP synthase is the enzyme that synthesizes ATP by chemiosmosis. It allows protons to pass through the membrane. The free energy difference is used to phosphorylate adenosine diphosphate (ADP), making ATP.
