Chemiosmosis involves ions and these ions move through a membrane that allows ions to freely move through it. While the ions are moving they are moving down by means of the gradient. This gradient is the electrochemical gradient. ATP is one example of chemiosmosis because it involves hydrogen ions. These hydrogen ions move down the membrane and it takes place during photosynthesis when chloroplasts are changed to energy.
When the chemiosmotic process is occurring in chloroplasts, it needs something in order for this to happen. This is the establishment of a proton gradient. The proton is also known as hydrogen ions which is how it can undergo this process. During this process, the proton moves from high concentration to low.
Chemiosmosis is when diffusion takes place to allow an atom or molecule through a membrane. Plants have chloroplasts in them. Chloroplast have chlorophyll in it so that photosynthesis can take place. When this occurs, the sunlight exudes its rays down on a plant. Then the plant takes in the sunlight and changes it into energy.
This energy is used to fuel the plant. This is how the plant functions. Another term used to class this process is photosynthesis or cellular respiration. Proton gradients is the result of an electron transport chain where there are fewer protons inside the inner membrane than outside of it. So, when the chemiosmotic process involves chloroplasts, an event takes place. This causes a proton gradient to take place.
