The difference between oxidative phosphorylation and chemiosmotic coupling?
oxidative phosphorylation does not involve with the respiratory complex in the inner mitochondria membrane. Oxidative phosphorylation useful in generate the production of ATP from the proton gradient or proton motive force. Chemiosmotic coupling invilve the manner of ETC on how its create the proton gradient and the proton gradient is indirectly directed with the production of ATP.The proton gradient causes the conformational change of tigthly binding of ATP to open binding ATP .Then ATP can be released and be used to the metabolic cell needs and translocate the ATP to cytoplasm that can be used to phosphorylate substrate.
Where does diffusion of molecules come from?
they diffuse because of the concentration gradient. Their ability depends on their property like mass and charge.
What is osmosis gradient?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a water permeable membrane. The gradient is the tendency of the water molecules to move from the side of higher concentration of water to the side with lower concentration of water in an attempt to achieve equilibrium.
Compare osmosis diffusion and filtration?
Diffusion is movement of molecules, from region of higher concentration, to the region of lower concentration, along concentration gradient.
Why does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Because osmosis is the movement of water molecules from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration.
Is hydrogen gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane a cellular energy currency?
ATP molecules are essentially cellular energy currency. The hydrogen gradient (or proton gradient as it is technically called) is responsible for the functioning of a protein complex called ATP synthase which in turn is responsible for the synthesis of ATP molecules. Therefore, the proton gradient is the driving force for the synthesis of ATP molecules.
Where in the chloroplast is the chemiosmotic gradient developed?
In the thylakoid between photosystem II and photosystem I.
What is the source of the energy that produces the chemiosmotic gradient in mitochondria?
Main fuel is glucose. It is oxidized using oxygen

What is the chemiosmosis production of ATP compared to in photosynthesis?
The chemiosmotic production of ATP through photophosphorylation in photosynthesis is closely related to the chemiosmotic production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration. Both processes utilize a proton gradient across a membrane to power the ATP synthase which phosphorylates ADP into ATP.
What determines how molecules are distributed in diffusion?
The concentration gradient is what causes molecules to diffuse.
Where do diffusion molecules move?
Down the concentration gradient
Why does active transport require more energy than osmosis or faciliated diffusion?
It is because during active transport, the molecules are being transported against and toward the concentration gradient whereas in diffusion, the molecules go from the concentration gradient.
Does active transport result in an even distribution of molecules?
No. Active transport uses energy to transport specific molecules against a concentration gradient. Passive transport will result in an even distribution of molecules because they allow molecules to move down a concentration gradient.
What cell process is responsible for concentration gradient?
Diffusion
Do substances in diffussion move with the concentration gradient?
no. High concentration to low concentration. The molecules move down the concentration gradient.
Diffusion is the process of movement of molecules under a concentration gradient?
Yes
