12 multiple choice 1 point which of the following is not a design similarity between oxidative phosphorylation and photosynthesis? both use a proton gradient to power atp synthase both use a combination of integral membrane proteins and mobile carrier proteins both convert light energy into chemical bond energy both use iron and other minerals as cofactors
Oxidative phosphorylation does not convert light energy into chemical - bond energy. Only photosynthesis has this ability as it uses light - dependent reactions to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. The other options are common features between oxidative phosphorylation and photosynthesis. Proton gradients power ATP synthase in both, they both use integral membrane and mobile carrier proteins, and iron and other minerals can act as cofactors in both processes.
