; two parts: one called the is embedded in the thylake enzyme consists of forms a transmembrane channel that carries out facilitated diffusion protons across the membrane. The other portion is called CF and rotrudes on the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane on the side hat faces the stroma. The break down of the gradient provides enough nergy to cause a conformational change in the CF, particle of the ATP gnthase, which makes the enzyme synthesise several molecules of energyaacked ATP. Chemiosmosis requires a membrane, a proton pump, a proton gradient and ATP synthase. Energy is used to pump protons across a nembrane, to create a gradient or a high concentration of protons within the thylakoid lumen. ATP synthase has a channel that allows diffusion of protons back across the membrane; this releases enough energy to activate ITP synthase enzyme that catalyses the formation of ATP. Along with the NADPH produced by the movement of electrons, the ATP will be used immediately in the biosynthetic reaction taking place in the stroma, responsible for fixing , and synthesis of sugars.
