Photosynthesis Exact Site Thylakoid Protons Pumped Compare Chemiosmosis

Chemiosmosis in photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts (thylakoid membrane) where protons are pumped from stroma to thylakoid lumen, while in respiration it occurs in mitochondria (cristae) where protons are pumped from matrix to intermembrane space.
