Question
What is chemiosmosis in the context of mitochondria?
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Chemiosmosis is the process where the flow of protons (H+) down their electrochemical gradient, from the intermembrane space back into the matrix through ATP synthase, provides the energy to phosphorylate ADP into ATP.
Hint
It couples a proton gradient to ATP production.
