Chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane through an integral membrane protein, down their electrochemical gradient. An important example is the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the movement of hydrogen ions (H+) through ATP synthase during cellular respiration or photophosphorylation.
