The chemiosmotic model does NOT explain synthesis of ATP in:
A) the chloroplast thylakoid membrane
B) the inner mitochondrial membrane
C) substrate-level phosphorylations
D) the purple bacteria thylakoids
E) inner membranes of Gram-negative bacteria

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chemiosmotic model is only applicable for the synthesis of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation in the inner mitochondrial membrane, the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, and the inner membranes of Gram-negative bacteria. Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs in the cytosol during glycolysis and in the mitochondrial matrix during the citric acid cycle, which do not involve the chemiosmotic model. Purple bacteria thylakoids also use a different mechanism for ATP synthesis.
