Which one of the following is not true regarding energy release during ATP synthesis through chemiosmosis?

Options

1. Breakdown of electron gradient
2. Movement of protons across the membrane to the stroma
3. Reduction of NADP to NADPH2 on the stroma side
4. Breakdown of proton gradient

Correct Answer

Breakdown of electron gradient

Explanation

ATP synthesis depends on proton gradient, not an electron gradient. Hence this statement is incorrect.
