Which one of the following is not true regarding the release of energy during ATP synthesis through chemiosmosis? It involves:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsNOT AVAILABLE
Chemiosmosis requires a membrane, a proton pump, a proton gradient and ATP synthase. Energy is used to pump protons across a membrane to create a gradient or a high concentration of protons within the thylakoid lumen.
The enzyme, NADP reductase is located on the stroma side of the membrane. Along with the electrons that come from the acceptor of electrons of PS I, protons are necessary for the reduction of NADP^ to NADPH and H + . The process does not involve breakdown of electron gradient.
