		Spencer leaves out one of Cranmer's critics of chemiosmosis and two of his neutrals and introduces three opponents of chemiosmosis, as well as two scientists who are shown as becoming fully converted by 1973 and one who is shown as half convinced by that date.
		Chemiosmosis, he suggests, can be stripped down to the basic notion that ATP is made by a gradient of protons (6P7).
		Although Spencer and many others noted the widespread use of a simplified consensual version of chemiosmosis and although speakers frequently remarked on the diverse interpretations of chemiosmosis to be found in the research network as a whole, none of our respondents commented on their own use of two versions of chemiosmosis.

	Connecting Concepts: Cell Biology
		Early on in the evolution of cells, a highly efficient mechanism for ATP synthesis arose: chemiosmosis.
		Chemiosmosis is central to the metabolism of many types of cells: a methane-producing prokaryote living in an anaerobic swamp; a heart muscle cell burning glucose in the presence of O
		In each of these situations, chemiosmosis is the process that allows the cell to harvest energy from oxidation reactions and synthesize ATP.

	ATP Production: An Introduction
		The term chemiosmosis emphasizes a coupling between (1) chemical reactions and (2) transport processes.
		During respiration, chemiosmosis occurs across the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
		Using energy from the oxidation of glucose, the electron transport chain translocates H+ from the mitochondrial matrix, across the inner membrane to the intermembrane space.

	ELECTRON TRANSPORT
		Coupled with an ATP synthetase (ATP synthase, H+ ATPase) and utilizing free oxygen as an electron acceptor, the electron transport chain is responsible for making much (but not all) of the ATP of the cell.
		ATP synthetase plus an artificial charge and H+ gradient plus ADP and phosphate can be used to make ATP (this is not a straight forward experiment because of the difficulty in inducing such gradients).
		Chemiosmosis offers an explanation as to why certain kinds of active transport can be carried out by mitochondria in the total absence of ATP.

	Plant Physiology Online: Chemiosmosis in Action
		The British nobel laureate Peter Mitchell coined the term chemiosmosis to explain the coupling between gradient of electrochemical potentials of protons across selectively permeable membranes and the performance of cellular work (Harold 1986).
		In plants, proton gradients play a role in transport across the plasma membrane and the tonoplast and drive both transport and ATP synthesis on the inner membranes of chloroplasts and mitochondria.
		In real life, however, such concentration gradients would not exist: Sucrose would diffuse back out of the cell, and regulatory mechanisms at the membrane would repress the function of the symporter after certain critical concentrations were attained.

		The cristae membrane is very impermeable to except through a special protein called ATP synthase which acts as a protein "port".
		As the protons pass through this protein "port" energy is obtained to make ATP from ADP + P. Most of the ATP synthesized from aerobic respiration is produced by this process of chemiosmosis.
		Approximately 32 to 34 ATP are produced from one glucose molecule.

		Through this series of enzymatic reactions the 2 carbons of the acetyl-CoA are oxidized to CO2 and H2O, and the electrons that are removed are given to NAD+ to form NADH and to FAD to FADH2.
		Electron transport and chemiosmosis: the NADH and FADH2 need to be recycled to NAD+ and FAD so that they can accept more electrons.
