Does the stroma separate the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondria?
No, the stroma is found in chloroplasts, not mitochondria. In mitochondria, the inner and outer membranes are separated by the intermembrane space.
What job does the electron transport chain accomplish in order to drive the formation of ATP?
The proteins in the electron transport chain pump protons from the matrix of the mitochondria to the intermembrane space, thus establishing an electrochemical gradient
What is the structure of the mitochondria?
The structure of the mitochondria include the inner mitochondrial membrane, the outer mitochondrial membrane, the intermembrane space, the cristae, and then the mitochondrial matrix. Click on the related link for a detailed description on the structure of the mitochondria.
What ion is pumped across the inner membrane in the ETC?
Protons are pumped across the inner membrane into the intermembrane space.
What energy-producing process takes place in the mitochondria?
The electron transport chain uses energetic electrons to pump protons into the mitochondrial intermembrane space. The chemiosmotic process involving ATP synthase makes ATPs by taking advantage of the tendency of the protons to return to the mitochondrial matrix.
Electron transport chain pumps hydrogen ions to what space?
mitochondria inner membrane
How many protons in total are pumped into the intermembrane space of a mitochondria through the electron transport chain, if each complex individually receives 2 electrons?
12 protons
What part of the mitochondria stores a high concentration of H plus ions?
The intermembrane space.
Difference of chemiosmosis in chloroplasts and mitochondria?
Well, I know that in mitochondria, protons are pumped from the matrix to the intermembrane space; however, in chloroplasts, protons are pumped from the stroma to the thykaloid space.I am not sure if that is the only difference, though ^^'

No, the stroma is found in chloroplasts, not mitochondria. In mitochondria, the inner and outer membranes are separated by the intermembrane space.
How is energy in the electron transport system temporarily stored?
By pumping protons into intermembrane space
What job does the electron transport chain accomplish in order to drive the formation of ATP?
The proteins in the electron transport chain pump protons from the matrix of the mitochondria to the intermembrane space, thus establishing an electrochemical gradient
What is in mitochondria?
Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) have two membranes, with an intermembrane space between them. The inner membrane is folded to form cristae. The space inside the mitochondria is known as the matrix and is where the reactions happen to make ATP.

What are the directions of hydrogen flow during synthesis of ATP?
From the intermembrane space to the inner matrix
