The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the explanation for ATP formation in chloroplasts and mitochondria. We need to identify the theory that describes this process. 2. **Identifying Key Theories**: - **Lock and Key Theory**: Proposed by Emil Fischer, it describes the specificity of enzymes and substrates but does not explain ATP formation. - **Chemoosmotic Theory**: Proposed by Peter Mitchell in 1961, this theory explains ATP synthesis through a process involving proton gradients and ATP synthase. - **Lippmann and Lohmann Theory**: Lippmann discussed the chemical energy of ATP, while Lohmann discovered ATP, but neither directly explains ATP formation in chloroplasts and mitochondria. - **Chemical Coupling Theory**: This theory relates to oxidative phosphorylation but does not specifically address ATP synthesis in chloroplasts and mitochondria. 3. **Selecting the Correct Theory**: Among the options, the **Chemoosmotic Theory** by Peter Mitchell is the only one that accurately describes ATP formation in chloroplasts and mitochondria through the mechanism of proton electrochemical coupling and the action of ATP synthase. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is the **Chemoosmotic Theory** proposed by Peter Mitchell. ### Final Answer: ATP formation in chloroplasts and mitochondria is explained by the **Chemoosmotic Theory** by Peter Mitchell. ---
