Options:
Answer:
Solution:
The production of ATP with the help of energy liberated during oxidation of reduced coenzymes and terminal oxidation is called oxidative phosphorylation. Peter Mitchell (1961) put forward a hypothesis known as chemiosmotic hypothesis for ATP synthesis. According to this when electrons flow from duel proton, electron carrier to a non-hydrogen carrier the H+are released and expelled into the intermembrane space and thus creates a proton gradient with higher concentration of H+in the inter membranous space than the matrix. Due to proton motive force the protons flow back and energy liberated during this back flow of protons activate ATPase [present in F1head to synthesize ATP].
