Essential Biochemistry - Biological Oxidation (Section 2 - No. 41)
What is the chemiosmotic theory?
The theory that ATP is synthesized through substrate-level phosphorylation
The theory that electron transport drives the pumping of protons, creating a gradient used for ATP synthesis
The theory that oxygen is the final electron acceptor
The theory that ATP is synthesized in the cytoplasm
Explanation
The chemiosmotic theory describes how the proton gradient drives ATP synthesis.
