Describe the chemiosmotic theory of generation of ATP as a result of an electron transport chain. In the process, describe proton motive force and indicate the function of ATP synthase.

[this has a long answer that was just a question off an internet site)
The Electron Transport Chain and Chemiosmosis: According to this theory, the tranfer of electrons down an electron transport system through a series of oxidation-reduction reactions releases energy. This energy allows certain carriers in the chain to transport hydrogen ions (H+ or protons) across a membrane. The fluid on the side of the membrane where the protons accumulate acquires a positive charge; the fluid on the opposite side of the membrane is left with a negative charge. The energized state of the membrane as a result of this charge separation is called proton motive force or PMF and provides the energy necessary for enzymes called ATP synthases to catalyze the synthesis of ATP from ADP and phosphate. This generation of ATP occurs as the protons cross the membrane through the ATP synthase complexes and re-enter either the bacterial cytoplasm or the matrix of the mitochondria.
