A toxin disrupts the CF1 particles of the thylakoid membrane. Which mechanism of ATP synthesis is directly halted by this disruption in the chloroplast?
Q1. A toxin disrupts the CF1 particles of the thylakoid membrane. Which mechanism of ATP synthesis is directly halted by this disruption in the chloroplast?
Answer: Diffusion of protons through CF1
Explanation: ATP synthase uses the flow of H+ down their gradient. Option D is wrong because the gradient is established by electron energy, not ATP hydrolysis.
