Question
Chapter 8.2, Problem 2C
Summary Introduction
To explain: The role of electron transport chain, proton gradient, and ATP synthase complex in chemiosmosis ATP synthesis.
Concept introduction: The process in which ions are moved by diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane to synthesize ATP is known as chemiosmosis. This process takes place inside the mitochondria during the aerobic
