Proton Gradient & ATP Synthesis — NEET Biology

📚 Practice Concept
📖 NCERT Source

Why are we so interested in the proton gradient? This gradient is important because it is the breakdown of this gradient that leads to the synthesis of ATP. The gradient is broken down due to the movement of protons across the membrane to the stroma through the transmembrane
