The crucial requirement for the process of chemiosmosis is
Options
- AMembrane
- BProton pump
- CProton gradient
- DNone of these
Correct answer
C. Proton gradient
Step-by-step solution
Chemiosmosis requires a membrane, a proton pump, a proton gradient and ATPase. Energy is used to pump protons across the membrane to create a gradient or a high concentration of protons within the thylakoid lumen. However, the most essential requirement is the creation of a proton gradient across the membrane.
