Chapter 18, Problem 45P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Effect on PMF by the reverse action of ATP synthase.

Concept introduction:

The force that promotes the movement of protons across the membrane down the concentration gradient is termed as proton motive force. Mostly, PMF is generated by the electron transport chain. The proton motive force makes the cell to act as the tiny battery. PMF helps the cell perform work or store the energy for future use.
