Which one of the following is not true regarding the release of energy during ATP synthesis through chemiosmosis? It involves:
A
Reduction of NADP to 
on the stroma side of the membrane
on the stroma side of the membrane
B
Breakdown of proton gradient
C
Breakdown of electron gradient
D
Movement of protons across the membrane to the stroma
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
The chemiosmotic hypothesis has been put forward to explain the synthesis of ATP in the chloroplast. ATP synthesis is linked to development of a proton gradient across a membrane. The breakdown of proton gradient leads to the release of energy. The proton gradient is broken down due to the movement of protons across the membrane to the stroma through the transmembrane channel.
