What Electron transport and chemiosmosis means in Biology A-Level, as defined for OCR.
Definition of Electron transport and chemiosmosis
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Electron transport and chemiosmosis in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
Electron transport pumps protons into the thylakoid space, and their flow back through ATP synthase produces ATP by chemiosmosis.
