Question

The generation of ATP by the movement of hydrogen ions down their concentration gradient across a membrane occurs because of a process called

a.
chemiosmosis

b.
diffusion

c.
reverse osmosis

d.
passive transport

Answer 1

hmm hmmmm hmmm hm reverse osmosis??

Answer 2

a. chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane bound structure, down their electrochemical gradient. An example of this would be the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the movement of hydrogen ions (H+) across a membrane during cellular respiration or photosynthesis.
