Chemiosmotic theory of ATP synthesis, in the chloroplast and mitochondria, is based on :

  • proton gradient

  • membrane potential

  • accumulation of K ions

  • accumulation of Na ions

Solution

A.

proton gradient

The chemiosmotic theory of ATP synthesis, in the chloroplast and mitochondria is based on proton gradient. This proton gradient across the membranes represents the potential for ATP formation.
