The Chemiosmotic Model of ATP Synthesis Is Based on Several

question 14

Multiple Choice

The chemiosmotic model of ATP synthesis is based on several lines of experimental evidence. Which of the following statements is NOT correct experimental evidence to support the chemiosmotic model?

• A)Oxidative phosphorylation does not require a membrane- enclosed compartment.
• B)The proton gradient established by electron transport has enough energy to drive ATP synthesis.
• C)Uncoupling agents abolish both the proton gradient and ATP synthesis.
• D)Electron transport causes protons to be pumped out of the mitochondrial matrix.
• E)Artificial proton gradients established by addition of acid can drive ATP synthesis in the absence of electron transport.
