WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY STEPS OF CHEMIOSMOSIS?
In general, the three parts of chemiosmosis that you should know are as follows:
1. How the proton gradient forms between the intermembrane space and the mitochondrial
matrix
2. How the H+ ions diffuse across the inner mitochondrial membrane
3. How ATP synthase uses the flow of protons to generate ATP
The following sections will explain each of these three components in greater depth, including diagrams, pictures and videos that will help you gain a better understanding of this (seemingly!) complicated process.
