Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chemical formation of ATP is driven by a diffusion force that is similar to osmosis. This process is known as chemiosmosis. Option A, active transport, refers to the movement of ions or molecules against their concentration gradient, which requires energy expenditure. Decarboxylation, option C, is the removal of carbon dioxide from a molecule. Diffusion, option D, refers to the movement of molecules or ions from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. While diffusion is involved in the process of chemiosmosis, it does not fully describe it.
