Pumped into the outer lumen of the mitochondria where it builds up a concentration gradient which it falls down through the ATP-synthase. A rotary motor that takes ADP and a phosphate group a combines them to produce ATP by the energy provided by the H +.

What part of the mitochondria stores a high concentration of H plus ions?
The intermembrane space.
What cellular compartment becomes acidic during mitochondrial electron transport?
The outer lumen of the mitochondria. All those protons being pumped into the outer lumen make it quite acidic.
Which gas is pumped into a balloon?
Helium gas is pumped into a balloon.
Where do the reactions of each electron transport chain occur?
In the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
How is mitochondria like the furnace in a house?
The Mitochondria produces energy for the cell and a furnace produces heat energy for your house.
Where is ATP made in the mitochondria?
Across the inner membrane. As H+ ions are pumped through ATP synthase, ADP + Pi --> ATP
During the first electron transport chain in which direction are protons actively pumped?
Protons are pumped into the mitochondria's intramembrane 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 ^^'
What does the outer compartment of the mitochondria stockpile?
H+
What company or place do the mitochondria resemble in a Cell City?
h
What passes through ATP synthase and causes ATP molecules to be produced from ADP molecules?
The hydrogen ions ( protons; H+ ) that are falling down their concentration gradient from where they were pumped into the outer lumen of the mitochondria and falling through the ATP-synthase to synthesize ATP ( phosphorylate ) from ADP.
What leaves the Mitochondria?
ATP is pumped out of the mitochondrion and into the cytosol, while ADP and Pi are pumped from the cytosol into the mitochondrion
What happens when electrons are passed the electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
What happens when electrons are transported down the electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
What Happens when electrons are passed down electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
What happen when electrons are passed down the electrons transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
What is the total number of H pumped out in the electron transfer from NADH to complex iv?
its 19478.83493037485
