1.	The chemiosmotic hypothesis is given by..................?
Answer» The chemiosmotic 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.\xa0The chemiosmotic\xa0hypothesis\xa0suggests that the action of ATP synthase is coupled with that of a proton gradient. ... It is the action of the proton gradient that causes a proton motive force that allows ATP synthase to phosphorylate ADP and inorganic phosphate to ATP.
