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).

Yeasts can produce ATP by either fermentation or chemiosmosis thus they are?

Fermentation the process of producing ATPs without the presence of oxygen.2 types of fermentation: Alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.Alcohol fermentation: Some types of yeast, for instance, will produce lots of ATP and carbon dioxide if they have plenty of oxygen, but if they lack oxygen, then they produce alcohol instead of lactic acid.


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.


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.


What protein is involved in chemiosmosis?

ATP synthase


What couples chemiosmosis to energy storage ATP synthase cytochromes FADH2 NADH or electron transport?

ATP synthase couples chemiosmosis to energy storage.


What does chemiosmosis produce and where does it happen?

it occurs in chloroplasts and mitochondria as well.


What happens during chemiosmosis?

During chemiosmosis, protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane, creating a proton gradient. The protons then flow back through ATP synthase, driving the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. This process is a key step in oxidative phosphorylation, the process by which cells generate ATP using energy derived from the electron transport chain.


Does chemiosmosis involve a concentration gradient?

Yes, chemiosmosis involves the movement of ions across a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, creating a concentration gradient. This gradient drives the production of ATP in processes such as oxidative phosphorylation during cellular respiration.

Breaking down food for energy without using oxygen is?

Anaerobic cellular metabolism/respiration.Oxygen is used as the ultimate electron acceptors in the electron transport chain which produces a proton gradient for the chemiosmosis (ATP formation). Certain organisms use nitrate or sulfate instead of oxygen. Fermentation is an example of anaerobic respiration.


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.


Involves diffusion of hydrogen ions to make ATP?
