ATP synthase has F0 and F1 components. F1 is
AThe peripheral catalytic head
BThe transmembrane proton channel
CLocated in the matrix outer membrane
DFound only in chloroplast membranes
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The peripheral catalytic head
F1 is the peripheral catalytic head (in matrix side) that synthesises ATP. F0 is the integral membrane portion forming the proton channel. Proton flow through F0 drives F1 rotation and ATP synthesis.
