25. What generates ATP in the process of Chemosmosis?

The release of protons within the double membranes of the mitochondrion forms a chemical gradient (difference of concentration) passing through the F1 factor coupling free phosphates to ADP to become ATPs. The ratio of two protons passing through the F1 factor generates the catalytic coupling of free phosphate to three ADPs forming three ATPs.
