41 Which of the following does NOT utilize PMF to generate A

41. Which of the following does NOT utilize PMF to generate ATP? a. Photoautotrophy b. Chemolithotrophy c. Anaerobic respiration d. Fermentation

Solution

Option d is the correct answer.

Fermentation is the procedure which does not uses Proton motive force to generate ATP.

Chemoautotrophy uses PMF as well and redox reactions to generate ATP.

Photoautotrophy also uses proton motive force

Anaerobic respiration requires proton motive gorce in order to generate ATP.

But fermentation is the only reaction in which ATP is generated by substrate level phosphorylation.

It has internally balanced redox reaction.

So choose option d.

Thank you
