Title: Is the process of chemiosmosis considered active transport or passive transport? Post by: rj957 on Sep 8, 2012 I think it's active as it maintains a gradient of hydrogen ions within the thylakoid membrane but I just want to make sure. Also, osmosis is considered passive transport right?
Title: Is the process of chemiosmosis considered active transport or passive transport? Post by: dave on Sep 8, 2012 Chemiosmosis occurs after the electron transport chain, letting H+ ions with their gradient to make ATP. Since H+ passively diffuses, it is passive transport.
Osmosis is passive, by its definition. |
