The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis proposes that ATP is formed because:

  1. A
    There is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane
  2. B
    High energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins
  3. C
    ADP is pumped out of the matrix
  4. D
    A proton gradient forms across the inner membrane

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

ATP is synthesized as protons flow back from the intermembrane space into the matrix through ATP synthase, driven by the proton gradient created by the Electron Transport Chain.
