Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemiosmosis in mitochondria directly results in the synthesis of ATP, which is produced through the movement of hydrogen ions (protons) across the inner mitochondrial membrane and into the intermembrane space. This creates a proton gradient, and the energy from the gradient is used by ATP synthase to generate ATP from ADP and Pi. NADH, FADH2, and acetyl CoA are involved in the earlier stages of cellular respiration but are not directly synthesized by chemiosmosis. Water (H2O) is produced as a byproduct of the electron transport chain, which is indirectly connected to chemiosmosis.
