ik that chemiosmosis is the process of using the energy stored in the gradient generated by the proton pump to make ATP . but its so general, how can i make this explanation longer for an essay?

Chemiosmosis is the most important step in aerobic respiration because it is the step that produces the most ATP. It yields 34 ATP's, where glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle only create 4 usable ATP's combined. Chemiosmosis is where most of the energy production of cells occurs. If it weren't for chemiosmosis, organisms would have FAR less energy to carry out life processes than they currently do.
