Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chemiosmotic process in chloroplasts involves the establishment of a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane, which is used to drive ATP synthesis. This process is similar to the chemiosmotic process in mitochondria, where a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane is used to drive ATP synthesis. The other choices are not part of the chemiosmotic process in chloroplasts.
