Verified
The downhill flow of protons through the ATP synthase complex powers the production of ATP.
ATP Synthase
Large enzyme complex that catalyzes the formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate by chemiosmosis; located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts, and the plasma membrane of prokaryotes.
Protons
Positively charged particles located within the nucleus of an atom, contributing to the atom's mass and charge.
ATP Production
The biochemical process by which energy is produced in cells, often involving the conversion of glucose to ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the cell's main energy currency.
