Question

The chemiosmotic model is supported by the observation that isolated mitochondria that are actively respiring cause the pH of the solution they are in to increase. requires an intact outer mitochondrial membrane. requires that mitochondrial ATP synthesis and electron flow through the respiratory chain be obligately coupled. is supported by the observation that, when isolated mitochondria have an artificial electrochemical gradient (higher pH in the matrix) imposed on them, electrons spontaneously flow through the respiratory chain. O

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Requires that mitochondrial ATP synthesis and electron flow throughly the respiratory chain be obligately coupled.

Explanation:

The linkage of electron transport, proton pumping and ATP synthesis is referred to as chemiosmotic coupling. In mitochondria this process is the final stage of cellular respiration and is referred to as oxidative phosphorylation
