Q

How does chemiosmosis work?

A
  • electron transport chain -> electrons lose energy along the electron transport chain
  • this energy is used to pump protons (H+) across a membrane
  • this creates a proton gradient
  • protons diffuse through ATP synthase - chemiosmosis
  • this provides the energy for ADP + pi -> ATP
