Question
The mechanism of ATP formation both in chloroplast and mitochondria is explained by ______.
Answer: Option C
:
C
As per Peter Mitchell’s chemiosmotic – coupling hypothesis, outward pumping of protons across the inner chloroplast or mitochondrial membrane results in accumulation of protons between outer and inner membrane. A proton gradient is thus established. As protons now flow back passively down the gradient, the proton motive force is utilized to synthesize ATP.
