Question

About ATP synthase, which is FALSE?

A. ATP synthase is localized at the inner membrane of mitochondria.
B. ATP synthase makes ATP from ADP and Pi.
C. ATP synthase is composed of Fo and F1 parts.
D. ATP synthesis happens in the absence of O2.

Answer 1

c. Out of the given options, the statement that is FALSE about ATP synthase is D. ATP synthesis happens in the absence of O2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the given options, the statement that is FALSE about ATP synthase is D. ATP synthesis happens in the absence of O2. ATP synthesis, which is the production of ATP from ADP and Pi, occurs through a process called oxidative phosphorylation, which requires the presence of O2.

ATP synthase is localized at the inner membrane of mitochondria (option A) where it makes ATP (option B). It is composed of Fo and F1 parts (option C), with Fo being embedded in the membrane and F1 protruding into the matrix.
