Energy production by chemolithotrophs is the result of inorganic molecule oxidation and passage of electrons into an electron transport chain for the generation of a proton motive force to drive an ATPase for the synthesis of ATP.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a correct statement describing the energy production process of chemolithotrophs. They use inorganic molecules as electron donors and transfer those electrons through an electron transport chain to create a proton motive force, which powers ATP synthesis by an ATPase enzyme.
