Consider the following statements regarding ATP synthase, complex V of the mitochondrial electron transport system:
I: The F1 headpiece is peripheral membrane protein complex and contains the site for the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
II: The F0 is an integral membrane protein complex that forms the channel through which protons cross the inner membrane.
III: For each ATP produced, 4H+ passes through F0 from the intermembrane space to the matrix down the electrochemical proton gradient.
1. Only III is correct
2. Only I and II are correct
3. I, II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are incorrect

2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II does not explain Statement I
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
