Explain chemiosmotic hypothesis |
| Answer» According to the\xa0Chemiosmotic Hypothesis, in photosynthesis, ATP synthesis is linked to development of proton (H+) gradient across thylakoid membranes. The\xa0chemiosmotic hypothesis\xa0was proposed by Peter Mitchell. This\xa0hypothesis\xa0stated that a proton-motive force was responsible for driving the synthesis of ATP. In this\xa0hypothesis, protons would be pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane as electrons went through the electron transfer chain. | |
