Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria, chloroplasts, and bacteria that generate proton gradients across their plasma membranes are all capable of synthesizing ATP through chemiosmosis. This process involves the movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient, which is used to drive the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
