Question
What type of cells carry out ATP synthesis by chemiosmosis?
Open in App
Solution
Chemiosmosis:
It is a process of movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane down the electrochemical gradient.
An example of Chemiosmosis is the formation of Adenosine triphosphate by the movement of protons across the membrane.
All respiring cells of eukaryotes and prokaryotes carry out Chemiosmosis.
Chemiosmosis occurs in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasma membrane.
