Multiple Choice

Please refer to the following art to answer the following questions.
-Which statement BEST describes the direct mechanism of ATP production during photosynthesis?

• A)uses energy generated as hydrogen ions (H⁺)move to an area where there are more hydrogen ions this energy is directly used to make ATP
• B)uses energy released as excited electrons are passed from one molecule to another in the electron transport system; the energy is converted to the chemical bond energy of ATP
• C)uses energy stored in excited electrons; as the electrons move from the excited state to the ground state, the energy released is directly converted to the energy stored in the third phosphate bond in ATP
• D)uses energy stored in hydrogen ion (H⁺)gradients; the potential energy of the proton gradient is released as the protons move down their gradient through special membrane protein channels; this energy is directly converted to chemical bond energy in the ATP molecule
