I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The the process of chemiosmosis and the direct result of its occurrence is best describe by the statement that hydrogen ions flow from the thylakoid against a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the stroma. ADP is converted to ATP. Chemiosmosis is the diffusion of diffusion of hydrogen ions (protons) across a biological membrane via ATP synthetase (a transport protein) due to a proton gradient the forms on the other side of the membrane. Chemiosmosis is one of the processes by which ATP is synthesized.
