alleryThe flow of hydrogen ions through ATP synthase from the thylakoid lumen to the stroma is called:
APhotolysis
BGlycolysis
CHydrolysis
DChemiosmosis
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Chemiosmosis
1. Protons pile up in the lumen.
2. Their rush through ATP synthase is chemiosmosis.
3. ATP synthase adds a phosphate to ADP.
