Question

In an experiment, a scientist isolates mitochondria from living cells and suspends them in two different buffered solutions. One solution is maintained at pH 4, while the other solution is maintained at pH 9. The
scientist finds that mitochondria in the solution at pH 4 continue to produce ATP but those in the pH 9 solution do not
The results of the experiment can be used as evidence in support of which of the following scientific claims about mitochondrial activity?
Mitochondria in a cell free environment are unable to convert thermal energy into ATP.
The electron transport chain pumps electrons from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix,
CATP production in mitochondria requires a hydrogen ſon gradient that favors movement of protons into the mitochondrial matrix.
D
ATP synthase molecules change their orientation in relation to the proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane.
