Electron transport chain explains:
Correct answer: D. Mechanism of ATP synthesis
- A. Photophosphorylation
- B. Z-Scheme
- C. Photolysis
- D. Mechanism of ATP synthesis
Explanation
The electron transport chain is a key component in the mechanism of ATP synthesis. During oxidative phosphorylation, which is the final stage of cellular respiration, the electron transport chain creates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This gradient drives the synthesis of ATP through the action of ATP synthase.
