ATP by mitochondria induced UV radiation supersedes
chemiosmosis based on H
+
gradient across inner
membrane

C
hemiosmosis in mitochondria is thought supported
by the acid-bath chloroplast experiment to show
a change in bath pH from 4 to 8 produces an H
+
ion
gradient across the thylakoid membrane to synthesize
ATP. However, pH change is accompanied by a release
in metabolic heat that increases bath temperature.
In chloroplasts, the thylakoid membrane contains
submicron stacks of grana, the heat locally conserved by
simple QED creating EM radiation beyond the UV instead
of an increase in temperature. Simple QED relies on real
photons and differs from the virtual photons in Feynman’s
QED. Hence, chemiosmosis by H gradients does not
occur, and instead ATP is synthesized from oxidation of
food molecules by UV radiation.
