Cell Biology
Chemiosmosis is the process by which ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is produced in cells by the movement of protons (H+) across a membrane, generating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. This mechanism is crucial for energy production during cellular respiration and photosynthesis, linking the flow of electrons to the synthesis of ATP through ATP synthase.
congrats on reading the definition of chemiosmosis. now let's actually learn it.
