Why does chemiosmosis require a membrane? A) to anchor proteins within the mitochondria B) because the phospholipids are involved in the electron transport chain C) to separate two compartments of the cell to allow for gradient formation D) to generate H⁺ from water E) to provide a large surface area

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemiosmosis requires a membrane to separate two compartments of the cell, such as the inner membrane of the mitochondria, to allow for the formation of a gradient (e.g. proton gradient) which powers ATP synthesis.
