A Comparison of Mitochondria and Chloroplast Shows That

Question

A comparison of mitochondria and chloroplast shows that A)both use oxygen as a final electron acceptor. B)both use an increase in pH in their inner-membrane space to produce ATP. C)both generate ATP via a H⁺ electrochemical gradient. D)only mitochondria contain ATP synthase. E)they have very different electron transport protein complexes.

Accepted Answer

Mitochondria and chloroplasts both generate ATP through the use of an electrochemical gradient, specifically a proton (H+) gradient across their membranes. This gradient drives ATP synthesis via ATP synthase.
