Answer: The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
ATP synthase is an enzyme present in inner mitochondrial membrane which catalyses the formation of ATP.
It gets energy directly from chemiosmosis, that is, diffusion of protons from inter-membrane space into mitochondrial matrix through ATP synthase.
The flow of electrons down the electron transport chain help in building the proton concentration gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
The proton then diffuse down the concentration gradient provides the ATP synthase with energy required for synthesis of ATP.
The immediate energy source that drives ATP synthesis by ATP synthase during oxidative phosphorylation is the:
During the ATP synthase, there is a movement of the enzyme which is responsible for the synthesis which forms the adenosine triphosphate.
As a result of this, energy is released from the chemiosmosis which moves the protons from where they are plentiful, to where they are needed .
This causes the H+ concentration gradient to move across the gradient which holds the ATP synthase.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
