Explain the process of chemiosmosis? I don't even remember what that is...

OpenStudy (petiteme):

Chemiosmosis is the diffusion of ions across a selectively-permeable membrane. More specifically, it relates to the generation of ATP by the movement of hydrogen ions across a membrane during cellular respiration.

OpenStudy (nerdgirl6):

Is that when the H+ spins the ATP Synthase, after the electron transport chain

OpenStudy (petiteme):

Here: ATP synthase is the enzyme that makes ATP by chemiosmosis. It allows protons to pass through the membrane using the kinetic energy to phosphorylate ADP making ATP. The generation of ATP by chemiosmosis occurs in chloroplasts and mitochondria as well as in some bacteria.

Okay thank you so much!
