Document Summary

Light geochemical processes (fermentaion) occur in cytosol of present-day cells. Both processes central to: the conversion of light energy chemical-bond energy (photosynthesis) Generaion of large amount of atp from food molecules during respiraion. Stage 1: high energy e- from the oxidaion of food molecules/sunlight transferred along e - transport. Chain in membrane released energy to pump protons generate electrochemical proton gradient (an ion that can move across a cell membrane with electrochemical potenial) Ion gradient-form of stored energy to do work when ions are allowed to low across membrane down an electrochemical gradient. Stage 2: protons low through atp synthase- (a protein complex that catalyzes energy-requiring synthesis of atp from adp/pi, and acts as a turbine permiing the proton gradient to drive the producion of atp. ) down an electrochemical gradient. 1961- chemiosmoic hypothesis- linked chemical bond forming reacions that synthesize atp with membrane-transport process that pump protons.
