Chemiosmosis in the thylakoid membrane results in the synthesis of ATP during light reaction. Thylakoid membranes contain proteins. These proteins make use of light energy to drive electron transport chains. This generates a chemiosmotic potential across the thylakoid membrane and NADPH. The ATP synthase enzyme uses the chemiosmotic potential to make ATP during photo- phosphorylation.

Fermentation in chemiosmosis?

Chemiosmosis is the process of hydrogen ions passing through a membrane such as the thylakoid. This process occurs from a high to low concentration. 1) During the light reaction in the thylakoid membrane hydrogen ions pass through the thylakoid to prodcue energy and help ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and Phosphate group) synthesize to form ATP(Adenosine triphosphate).

Is chlorophyll found in the thylakoid membrane or in the thylakoid space?

Chlorophyll is found in the thylakoid membrane.


What cell does chemiosmosis take place in?

Chemiosmosis occurs with those protons diffuse back, out of the intermembrane space, across the inner mitochondrial membrane, back into the matrix: as they do so, they pass through the membrane spannning ATP synthases which make ATP from ADP + Pi.
