Regarding ATP synthase:
1. Both F₀ and F₁ directly oxidise NADH to produce ATP.
2. F₁ forms the proton channel, and F₀ is the catalytic site for ATP synthesis.
3. F₀ forms channel through which protons pass, and F₁ functions as catalytic site for ATP synthesis.
4. F₀ hydrolyses ATP while F₁ pumps protons into the intermembrane space.
