Chemiosmotic theory of ATP synthesis in the chloroplasts and mitochondria is based on:

Options

  1. Amembrane potential
  2. Baccumulation of Na ions
  3. Caccumulation of K ions
  4. Dproton gradient.

Correct answer

D. proton gradient.

Step-by-step solution

According to the chemiosmosis theory of ATP generation. The ATP is generated utilizing the electrochemical gradient generated due to the accumulation of protons in the thylakoid lumen of chloroplast or peri-mitochondrial space in mitochondria. The accumulation of protons gives rise to an electric gradient, due to the accumulation of positive charge and a chemical gradient due to the accumulation of hydrogen atom. Related Theory The chemiosmotic hypothesis stated that a proton-motive force was responsible for drivin
