In order for hydrogen ions to do work , their concentration on each side of the membrane must be different. When the concentrations are the same the system is at equilibrium and can not do work.
Bases accept hydrogen ions. Acids donate hydrogen ions.
Bases have a low concentration of hydrogen ions. In contrast, acids have a high concentration of hydrogen ions.
pH stands for power of hydrogen and indicates concentration of Hydrogen ions. pOH indicates concentration of hydroxide ions.

the difference is that ,the hydrogen ion
The ATP synthase
Bases accept hydrogen ions. Acids donate hydrogen ions.
They move hydrogen ions in the thylakoid.
The phosphate buffer system consists of two ions: dihydrogen phosphate ions and hydrogen phosphate ions. When the number of hydrogen ions in a body's bloodstream increases (pH drops), hydrogen phosphate ions accept hydrogen ions in order to maintain the equilibrium between the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions within the bloodstream. When the number of hydrogen ions in the bloodstream decreases (pH increases), the resulting dihydrogen phosphate ions release hydrogen ions in order to increase the number of hydrogen ions in the blood.
Acids release hydrogen+ ions (H+) when dissolved in water
The more acidic a solution is, the more hydrogen ions it gives off.
Hydrogen ions
Acids lose hydrogen ions.
Bases have a low concentration of hydrogen ions. In contrast, acids have a high concentration of hydrogen ions.
pH stands for power of hydrogen and indicates concentration of Hydrogen ions. pOH indicates concentration of hydroxide ions.

Hydrogen ions (H+) can be thought of as protons.
