A process that uses membranes to couple redox reactions to ATP production is termed:
Correct answer: A. Chemiosmosis
- A. Chemiosmosis
- B. ATP Synthase
- C. Dark reactions
- D. Light reactions
Explanation
Chemiosmosis is the process in which the flow of electrons through the photosynthetic pathway pumps protons across the thylakoid membrane, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
