Well, I know that in mitochondria, protons are pumped from the matrix to the intermembrane space; however, in chloroplasts, protons are pumped from the stroma to the thykaloid space.

I am not sure if that is the only difference, though ^^'

What does chemiosmosis produce and where does it happen?

it occurs in chloroplasts and mitochondria as well.


Does chemiosmosis expend energy?

No, chemiosmosis does not expend energy. Instead, it utilizes the energy stored in the form of a proton gradient to drive ATP synthesis in processes such as oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria or photosynthesis in chloroplasts.


Synthesis of ATP via a proton gradient is called?

Chemiosmosis (involves the pumping of protons through special channels in the membranes of mitochondria from the inner to the outer compartment. The pumping establishes a proton gradient).


What does Chemiosmosis involves .?

The movement of hydrogen ions across a mitochondrial membrane.


What is the relationship between chemiosmosis and ATP formation?

chemiosmosis is one of the processes that produces ATP. this happens in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.


What organelle is responsible for converting food into energy?

Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are involved in energy conversion.


What is location of ETC and chemiosmosis in photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

In photosynthesis, ETC and chemiosmosis occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. In cellular respiration, these processes take place in the inner mitochondrial membrane. These locations are where the electron transport chain (ETC) pumps protons across the membrane, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP production through chemiosmosis.


What parts of a cell do scientists think were once free-living organisms?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have once been a free prokaryotic cell.


What are factw about mitochondria and chloroplasts constitution support for the endosymbiont theorym?

There are three characteristics of mitochondria and chloroplasts that support this theory. First, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have two membranes surrounding them. Second, like prokaryotes, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain ribosomes, as well as a circular DNA molecules attached to their inner membranes. Third, mitochondria and chloroplasts are autonomous.


Do mitochondria contain green pigment?

No they do not. They are in chloroplasts.


Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA. Mitochondria DNA is circular, similar to bacterial DNA, and is inherited maternally. Chloroplasts also have circular DNA and are thought to have originated from endosymbiotic relationships with ancient prokaryotes.


What organelles that have a double membrane?
