ATP synthase derives energy for the generation of ATP from A) The movement of hydrogen ions against their concentration gradient into the thylakoid space. B) The splitting of H₂O which releases electrons. C) Solar energy captured by the light reactions changing the shape of the enzyme. D) Electrons transferred from NADPH causing the enzyme to change shape. E) The movement of hydrogen ions down their concentration gradient from the thylakoid space to the stroma.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As hydrogen ions diffuse down their concentration gradient the cause ATP synthase to change shape and ATP is produced. The ions are pumped against their concentration gradient by the action of the electron transport chain to set up this gradient.
