Oxidative phosphorylation ( chemiosmosis )

Question 1

pumping of H+ from matrix to intermembrane space creates ______

Answer 1

proton gradient

Question 2

what is meant by proton gradient in this case?

Answer 2

concentration of H+ in the intermembrane space is higher than inside the mitochondrial matrix

Question 3

what will happen when there is proton gradient between intermembrane space and mitochondrial matrix?

Answer 3

the H+ from intermembrane space will diffuse back into the matrix

Question 4

how does the H+ from intermembrane space diffuse back into the matrix?

Answer 4

through ATP synthase

Question 5

a process where H+ will diffuse back into the matrix from intermembrane space following the concentration gradient.
name this process.

Answer 5

chemiosmosis

Question 6

what will happen when H+ flows down their concentration gradient?

Answer 6

it will release energy known as proton motive force

Question 7

the energy released will be used to combine ___ and __ to produce ATP

Answer 7

ATP, P

Question 8

how does the ATP synthesis occurs?

Answer 8

by using the energy from proton gradient
