The process by which the pH gradient across the membrane provides energy for the synthesis of ATP is called as ______(a) Phosphorylation(b) Transfusion(c) Diffusion(d) ChemiosmosisThis question was posed to me in semester exam.The doubt is from Higher Plants Photosynthesis in division Photosynthesis in Higher Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (d) Chemiosmosis

The BEST explanation: There is a pH gradient across the thylakoid membrane, which provides a PROTON MOTIVE force. This creates chemical potential energy for the PRODUCTION of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate is CALLED chemiosmosis. Peter Mitchell proposed this theory.
