Solution
Chemiosmotic Theory Of ATP Synthesis:
The ATP molecules are generated utilizing the electrochemical gradient generated due to the accumulation of proton in the thylakoid lumen of the chloroplast.
It is present in the peri mitochondrial space of mitochondria.
The accumulation of proton gives rise to the electric gradient, due to the accumulation of positive charge and chemical gradient due to the presence of hydrogen atoms.
When the proton moves along with this electrochemical gradient through F0- F1 ATP synthase enzyme complex and then ATP generates occurs.
ATP synthase is the enzyme that makes ATP by chemiosmotic. It allows protons to pass through the membrane and uses free energy differences to phosphorylate adenosine diphosphate (ADP), making ATP, The generation of chemiosmosis occurs in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
