Compare and contrast the location of ATP synthase and the movement of protons during aerobic cell respiration and photosynthesis.

[2]

Markscheme

location of ATP synthase

a. cristae/inner mitochondrial membrane versus thylakoid membranes 

movement of protons

b. protons moved/pumped as a result of electron flow/electron transport in both 

c. (pumped by the electron transport chain) from the matrix to the intermembrane space versus from the stroma to the thylakoid space 

d. through ATP synthase/synthetase in both (respiration and photosynthesis) 

e. protons move (through ATP synthase/synthetase) down the concentration gradient in both 

f. move (down concentration gradient) from the intermembrane space to the matrix versus from the thylakoid space to the stroma
