State
Hydrogen ions in the thylakoid lumen diffuse out through ATP synthase, producing ATP by the same chemiosmotic mechanism respiration uses.
Show
Water splitting and the transport chain both add hydrogen ions to the lumen, building the gradient that drives this ATP synthase.
Watch for
This is the same chemiosmotic principle as Bio 0554, run across a different membrane, not unique to chloroplasts.
