This process, in which energy stored in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane is used to drive cellular work such as the synthesis of ATP, is called chemiosmosis. We have previously used the word osmosis in discussing water transport, but here it refers to the flow of H+ across a membrane.
The energy from each electron being passed down the chain is used to pump a proton (H+) through each carrier molecule, from one side of the membrane to the other. This creates a proton gradient, a type of concentration gradient (difference in concentration of a substance between two sides of a membrane), and gradients are potential energy available for cellular work.
