Question
Map ling learning Identify the statements that accurately describe how hydrogen ion concentration relates to energy production in oxidative phosphorylation. Energy is generated as a result of the difference in hydrogen ion concentration between the intermembrane space and the cytoplasm Oxidative phosphorylation relies on the hydrogen ion concentration gradient generated and maintained by the electron transport chain. en on concentration gradient generated ATP synthase provides energy in the form of ATP to actively transport H+ into the mitochondrial matrix. Hydrogen ions cannot freely pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane. Hydrogen ion concentration is higher in the intermembrane space than in the mitochondrial matrix. The pH in the mitochondrial matrix is lower than the pH in the intermembrane space.Explanation / Answer
Options 4,5,6 are correct.
4. Hydrogen ions cannot freely pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane.
5. Hydrogen ion concentration is higher in the intermembrane space than in the mitochondiral matrix.
6. The pH in the mitochondrial matrix is lower than the pH in the intermembrane space.
