The chemiosmotic theory states that the proton potential is composed of: A) [ATP] and [ADP]+[Pi] B) a pH gradient and Na⁺ gradient C) pH and pNa⁺ D)$\Delta$pH and $\Delta$$\varPsi$ E) none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proton potential is composed of both a pH gradient (F1F1F1S1pH) and an electrical potential gradient (F1F1F1S1F1F1F10), which together create the proton motive force that drives ATP synthesis. The other options listed are not accurate components of the proton potential.
