Does the formamide in EVA foam mats pose a health risk? The French researchers tested three different brands of foam puzzle mats. The study found that any exposure to formamide came almost exclusively through inhalation. Exposure through ingestion (whether through suction, chewing, or swalling a piece) was negligible.
Chemiosmosis is one of the processes by which ATP is synthesized. In eukaryotes, it takes place in the mitochondria during cellular respiration and in the chloroplasts during photosynthesis. In prokaryotes, it occurs in the cell membrane.
This process is related to osmosis, the diffusion of water across a membrane, which is why it is called chemiosmosis. ATP synthase is the enzyme that makes ATP by chemiosmosis. It allows protons to pass through the membrane and uses the kinetic energy to phosphorylate ADP, making ATP.
