A proton gradient is an important part of both photosynthesis and cellular respiration because couple the favorable flow of H+ to transport specific metabolites into and out of organelles.

<h3>What is the proton gradient?</h3>

The gradient is sometimes called the proton-motive and can be thought of as a form of energy, force and force in a battery. Like other ions, protons are not able to cross directly through the phospholipid bilayer of the membrane, as the interior of the membrane is hydrophobic.

The proton gradient generated by this manipulation provided a driving force for ATP synthesis in the absence of light. This confirms the chemiosmotic theory, where a chemical potential across the membrane can provide energy for ATP synthesis.

The proton gradient produced by pumping protons during the electron transport chain is used to synthesize ATP.

How does an enveloped virus gain/obtain/get its envelope?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The envelope come from the host cell membrane as the virus leaves the host cell

Explanation:

A virus is an organism that is incapable of replicating on its own without infecting a living host. A virus consists of a genetic material (DNA or RNA) , a protein coat called CAPSID, and sometimes some viruses possess an envelope, which is an outer covering or enclosure. Viruses that possess this envelope are referred to as ENVELOPED VIRUS.

The virus lacks the ability to produce any structure, hence, they gain this envelope made of phospholipid from the cell membrane of the host they infect. During the infection cycle of a virus, a process called budding enables a portion of the host's plasma membrane to cover or encapsulate the virion cells, hence, making them enveloped in the process.
