Question

True or false? the chemiosmotic hypothesis states that the synthesis of atp generates a proton gradient that leads to electron flow through an electron transport chain.

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The chemiosmotic hypothesis states that the flow of electrons through an electron transport chain generates a proton gradient that leads to the synthesis of ATP. A proton gradient across chloroplast and mitochondrial membranes drives ATP synthesis by the enzyme ATP synthase.
