Which of the following statements about oxidative phosphorylation by ATP synthase is FALSE?
A) The electrochemical gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane generated by electron flow is used to synthesize ATP.
B) Uncouplers dissipate the electrochemical gradient but electron transport continues without ATP production.
C) Inhibitors disrupt electron flow as well as ATP synthesis.
D) A proton gradient alone without a corresponding energy input is not sufficient to drive the synthesis of ATP.
E) ATP synthesis occurs via simultaneous conformational changes in protein subunits containing catalytic sites.
