Q. Chemiosmotic theory of ATP synthesis in the chloroplasts and mitochondria is based on

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

Chemiosmotic theory of ATP synthesis in the chloroplasts and mitochondria is based on proton gradient. Chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient. More specifically, it relates to the generation of ATP by the movement of hydrogen ions across a membrane during cellular respiration or photosynthesis.
