The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) is formed because:

Question

( A ) A proton gradient forms across the inner membrane
( B ) ADP is pumped out of the matrix into the intermembrane space
( C ) There is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane toward Adenosine Di-Phosphate (ADP)
( D ) High energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins
