Detailed Solution

Oxidative phosphorylation occur in the mitochondria during respiration and hence light energy is not used directly or indirectly to develop proton gradient oxidative phosphorylation. Complex V (ATP synthase) is associated with ATP synthesis and not electron transport. Complex I to IV is involved in electron transport. The energy currency of the cell is ATP and chemically in is a nucleoside triphosphate.
