In this image of a thylakoid, which of these phosphorylates ADP to make ATP?
The answer is E (ATP synthase).
ATP synthase is a complex that uses the proton potential produced in mitochondria by the action of the electron transport chain. To complete the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP, a proton is transferred down the gradient, and the energy is used.ATP is made by the ATP synthase located on the thylakoid membrane; it has a membrane-bound F0 component and F1 stalk, so the structure E is the ATP synthase.
