Q. Chemiosmotic mechanism of ATP production in aerobic respiration was given by:

AFMCAFMC 2004Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

Solution:

Chemiosmotic hypothesis of ATP synthesis was proposed by Peter Mitchell in $1961$. He proposes that energy liberated by electron transport is used to create a proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane which used to drive ATP synthesis.
