Ion electro chemical gradient across membrane bioenergetic
Answers
✅Chemiosmosis is the diffusion of protons across thebiologicalmembrane through ATP synthase, due to a proton gradient thatforms across the membrane during electron transp- ort
Answer:
An electrochemical gradient is a gradient of electrochemical potential, usually for an ion that can move across a membrane. The gradient consists of two parts, the chemical gradient, or difference in solute concentration across a membrane, and the electrical gradient, or difference in charge across a membrane. When there are unequal concentrations of an ion across a permeable membrane, the ion will move across the membrane from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration through simple diffusion. Ions also carry an electric charge that forms an electric potential across a membrane.
