Question
The following statements concern the relationship between mitochondrial hydrogen ion concentration and energy storage as ATP during oxidative phosphorylation. Classify each statement as either accurate or inaccurate Accurate statements Inaccurate statements Hydrogen ions cannot freely pass H+ concentration is lower in the mitochondrial through the inner mitochondrial membrane matrix than in the intermembrane space. The pH in the mitochondrial matrix is lower H+ ions move through a channel formed by ATP than the pH in the intermembrane space. synthase releasing energy to form A Energy is generated as a result of the ATP synthase uses energy from ATP to difference in hydrogen ion concentration between move H nto the mitochondrial matrix. the mitochondrial matrix and the cytoplasmExplanation / Answer
Accurate statements:
H+ concentration is lower in the mitochondiral matrix, than in the intermembrane space
Hydrogen ions cannot freely pass through the inner mitrochondrial membrane
H+ ions move throguh a channel formed by ATP synthase releasing energy to form ATP
for... inaccurate:
ATP synthase uses energy from ATP to move H+ into th emitochondrial matrix
The pH in the mitochondrial matrix is lower than the pH in the intermembrane space
Energy is generated as a result of the difference in H ion concentration between in the mitochondrial matrix and the cytoplasm
