The ATP synthase enzyme consists of two parts where:
I: CF0 is embedded in the thylakoid membrane and forms a transmembrane channel that carries out facilitated diffusion of protons across the membrane.
II: CF1 protrudes on the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane on the side that faces the stroma.
 
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
