Solution
The correct option is A Endergonic; Chemiosmosis Endergonic reactions are energy absorbing reactions, during the formation of ATP, iP is added to ADP using energy. So, formation of ATP is an endergonic reaction and it occurs through a process of chemiosmosis.
So, the correct answer is 'Endergonic; Chemiosmosis'
