Examples of chemiluminescent phenomena include glowing sticks, light sticks, and certain types of fireflies.

Chemiosmosis

speak

Chemiosmosis is the process by which cells generate energy from the movement of ions across a membrane. It occurs in the mitochondria of cells and is the primary method by which cells produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecule that provides energy for the cell's activities. During chemiosmosis, the movement of ions creates a proton gradient across the membrane, which drives the production of ATP.
