What occurs during chemiosmosis in chloroplasts?

Open in App

Solution

Chemiosmosis:
Chemiosmosis refers to the process of moving ions to the other side of a biological membrane.
An electrochemical gradient is generated in chemiosmosis.
It is used to drive ATP synthesis.
During this process, hydrogen ions accumulate in the thylakoid membranes.
Protons move from high to low concentration.
Move through ATP synthase and make ATP.
