Which of the following was not evidence that supported Mitchell's chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis?
A) Closed vessicles were required. Phosphorylation did not occur in a completely soluble environment.

C) The existence of the pH gradient could be demonstrated
D) The transfer of electrons from complex I to oxygen was shown
E) none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transfer of electrons from complex I to oxygen is part of the electron transport chain, but it does not directly support the chemiosmotic hypothesis, which focuses on the role of proton gradients in ATP synthesis.
