electron transport chain
The hydrogen falls down its electrochemical gradient, from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration, through the ATP synthase and provides the force to power this synthase and synthesize ATP.
hmm well, hydrogen ions fuse inside the electron carriers creating a pathway and therefore making thatpath you were wondering about. comprende?

The electron transport chain converts energy stored in hydrogen ions and various other substances formed in early cellular respiration to produce high energy ATP in mitochondria. Mitochondria contain both an inner and an outer membrane, and it is along the inner membrane that the actual reactions of the chain occur. Inside the inner membrane a surplus of hydrogen ions is created that produces a concentration gradient across the membrane to the intermembrane space. This gradient causes a force that pushes hydrogen ions out of the innermost matrix and into the intermembrane space. This exchange occurs through special proteins called ATP synthase that convert low energy ADP into high energy ATP whenever a hydrogen ion is sent through one. When all is said and done, the excess electrons and hydrogen are bonded to oxygen to form water molecules.

The electron gradient created by the electron transport chain flows from the inner membrane space to the matrix through the ATP synthase which captures energy from the proton motive force to create lots of ATP in oxadative phosphorylation.
Recductive phosphorylation is the opposite of oxidative phosphoroylation. Reductive phosphorylation will occur in photosynthesis, when the chemiosmotic gradient is created because proteins along the thylakoid membrane have channeled hydrogen ions from the stroma to the thylakoid space. After, the hydrogen ions want to go back into the stroma because of the chemiosmotic gradient, and therefore, the enzyme ATP Synthase will open and let them run through. Like a wind turbine, it will spin at the same time, and crush ADP and P to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This whole process as a whole is called reductive phosphorylation because it essentially is one of the steps in reducing (giving electrons) carbon dioxide to glucose.
