Question:

Given below are two statements.

Statement I - F 1 part of oxysome catalyse the synthesis of ATP from ADP

Statement II - Protons are channeled from outer chamber of mitochondria into inner chamber by \(\mathrm{F}_0\) part of oxysome.

In the light of above statements, select the correct option given below:

Show Hint

F1 makes ATP and F0 forms the proton channel.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
The oxysome (ATP synthase) has two parts: the F\(_1\) head and the F\(_0\) base.

Step 2: Key Point
The F\(_1\) particle catalyses synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi.
The F\(_0\) part forms a channel through which protons move from the intermembrane (outer) space into the matrix (inner chamber).

Step 3: Compare the options
Both statements are correct.

Final Answer:
Both statements are correct. \[ \boxed{\text{(A) }\text{Both statement I and statement II are correct.}} \]
