Summary Introduction

To predict:

The rate of synthesis of ATP when a compound is added to the solution that makes the membranes freely permeable to hydrogen ions.

Introduction:

In the light-dependent reactions, the water is split into oxygen, electrons, and hydrogen ions. The hydrogen ions move along ETC (electron Chain transport) in the inter-membranous space from the matrix. The chemiosmosis is the movement of hydrogen ion from higher concentration to lower concentration, through which ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is formed.
