Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that ATP synthesis by chemiosmosis is a process that occurs in cells to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
Recognize that chemiosmosis involves the movement of hydrogen ions (protons) across a membrane, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis.
Identify that in eukaryotic cells, chemiosmosis occurs in the mitochondria during cellular respiration and in the chloroplasts during photosynthesis.
Acknowledge that in prokaryotic cells, which lack membrane-bound organelles, chemiosmosis occurs across the plasma membrane.
Conclude that both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are capable of carrying out ATP synthesis by chemiosmosis, as both have the necessary structures and processes to facilitate this mechanism.
