ATP is produced via chemiosmosis, the diffusion of protons across a membrane. The movement of protons down their concentration gradient releases energy for ATP synthesis, a process reliant on the creation of this gradient by excited electrons.
La ATP se produce mediante quimiosmosis, la difusión de protones a través de una membrana. El movimiento de protones a favor de su gradiente de concentración libera energía para la síntesis de ATP, un proceso que depende de la creación de este gradiente por parte de electrones excitados.

| Back | ATP produced by chemiosis (diffusion of protons from high conc to low conc areas), as protons move down conc gradient, energy released (and used to aid addition of Pi and ADP to form ATP), relies on creation of proton gradient, energy to do so comes from excited electrons |
