a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane
ATP molecules are essentially cellular energy currency. The hydrogen gradient (or proton gradient as it is technically called) is responsible for the functioning of a protein complex called ATP synthase which in turn is responsible for the synthesis of ATP molecules. Therefore, the proton gradient is the driving force for the synthesis of ATP molecules.
proton gradient
The inner mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to protons on its own, so the energy of the proton gradient is stable. This means that energy is needed to make the protons go somewhere, thereby continuing the electron transport system.
All of the following are associated with chemiosmosis EXCEPT Answer creation of a proton gradient. beta-oxidation. phosphorylation of 34 molecules of ADP. oxidative phosphorylation. ATP synthase.
A proton-pump inhibitor's main purpose is a reduction in the production of gastric acid. The inhibitor is used in a variety of treatments for conditions such as Dyspepsia, Eosinophilic esophagitis, and Barrett's esophagus.
The chemiosmosis theory postulates that living cells produce ATP from a proton gradient across a membrane by an enzyme called ATP synthase. Animals generate this proton gradient with the mitochondrial electron transport chain. When reductants (NADH, FADH2) give up their electrons to the electron transport chain, the electrons move to increasingly stronger oxidizing agents, using the released energy to pump protons across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Plants, however, generate the proton gradient directly with the photosystems and the photosynthetic electron transport chain. When the photosystem becomes excited, water is split into protons, oxygen and electrons. The electrons are then passed into the photosynthetic electron transport chain, which is analogous to the mitochondrial electron transport chain in that it also uses the energy of the oxidation reactions to pump protons across the thylakoid membrane. The end result is the same, however, because the proton gradient generates proton motive force, which is then used to synthesize ATP with ATP synthase.
The proton pump inhibitors are a group of drugs that reduce the secretion of gastric (stomach) acid.
yes
Chemiosmosis (involves the pumping of protons through special channels in the membranes of mitochondria from the inner to the outer compartment. The pumping establishes a proton gradient).
