Assertion: ATP synthase do not have any channel that allows diffusion of protons back across the membrane.
Reason: The ATP synthesised during chemiosmosis will be used immediately in the biosynthetic reaction taking place in the stroma.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
ATP synthase has a channel that allows diffusion of protons back across the membranc; this releases enough energy to activate ATP synthase enzyme that catalyses the formation of ATP. Along with the NADPH produced by the movement of electrons, the ATP will be used immediately in the biosynthetic reaction taking place in the stroma, responsible for fixing
and synthesis of sugars.
