ATP synthesis is endergonic process. Its mechanism of formation both in chloroplast and mitochondria is best explained by

A

relay pump theory of Godlewski

B

Munch's pressure/mass flow model

C

chemiosmotic theory of Mitchell

D

Cholondy-Went's model

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In chemiosmotic -compling hypothesis, outward pumping of protons across the inner chlorophast or mitochondrial membrane results in accumulation of protons between outer membrane and inner membrane. A proton gradient is thus established . As protons now flow back passively force is utilised to synthesise ATP.
