Which of the following best describes how ATP synthase converts the potential energy of the proton gradient to the chemical energy of ATP?

A. Kinetic energy from the flow of protons is converted to the kinetic energy of rotation of the F0 subunit; this is transferred to the F1 subunit and used to catalyze ATP synthesis. B. The flow of protons through the F0 subunit reduces the F1 subunit, which allows ADP to be oxidized to ATP. C. The flow of protons through the F0 subunit oxidizes the F1 subunit, which allows ADP to be reduced to ATP. D. Kinetic energy from the flow of protons is stored in a new electrochemical gradient within the F0 subunit. The potential energy of the electrochemical gradient, in turn, is converted to kinetic energy in the F1 subunit and used to catalyze ATP synthesis. E. None of these answer options accurately describes how ATP synthase converts the potential energy of the proton gradient to the chemical energy of ATP.
