that they give birth to live young, or are there answers to choose from?
An ion (hydrogen ions, H⁺) gradient has potential energy which can be used for making ATP. Because of the proton gradient, H⁺ will diffuse from an area with higher proton concentration to an area with lower proton concentration. ATP synthase is the enzyme which allows protons to pass through the membrane and uses the free energy difference to convert ADP into ATP.

The answer is true. Adaptation allows for a better chance of survival.
Hope this helps!
