Question

Which statement concerning the interconversion ofdifferent forms of energy at the inner mitochondrial membrane isFALSE? A. The synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi by the ATP synthase isendergonic. B. Energy can be stored in a proton gradient. C. The pumping of protons by the transmembrane complexes of theelectron transport chain to create a H+ gradient is exergonic. D. The flow of protons back into the mitochondrial matrix through theATP synthase is exergonic. E. The movement of electrons through the transmembrane complexes ofthe respiratory chain to O2 is exergonic.

Explanation / Answer

C) It is not exergonic; it is endergonic. Energy is required tomaintain the gradient
