Hydrogen ions, H+ , are important to life because they're essential to the processes of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. The latter process is essential for all life. Chemiosmosis is the name given to the process of a flow of H+ causing some sort of energy flow.

Do bases release or accept hydrogen ions?
Bases accept hydrogen ions. Acids donate hydrogen ions.
Do bases have a high or low concentration of hydrogen ions?
Bases have a low concentration of hydrogen ions. In contrast, acids have a high concentration of hydrogen ions.
Does the pH scale indicate the consentration of hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions?
pH stands for power of hydrogen and indicates concentration of Hydrogen ions. pOH indicates concentration of hydroxide ions.
An arrhenius acid has 1.only hydroxide ions in solution. 2.only hydrogen ions in solution. 3.hydrogen ions as the only positive ions in solution. 4.hydrogen ions as the only negative ions in solut?
3
What is the relationship between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in water?
the difference is that ,the hydrogen ion
Do bases release or accept hydrogen ions?
Bases accept hydrogen ions. Acids donate hydrogen ions.
Where do hydrogen pumps move hydrogen ions in what structure?
They move hydrogen ions in the thylakoid.
How does the phosphate buffer system help in maintaining the pH of our body?
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 are compounds that dissociate in water and release what?
Acids release hydrogen+ ions (H+) when dissolved in water
Do acidic solutions give some or many hydrogen ions?
The more acidic a solution is, the more hydrogen ions it gives off.
What ions accumulate in the outer compartment of the mitochondria during electron transport phosphorylation?
Hydrogen ions
Do acids lose or gain hydrogen ions?
Acids lose hydrogen ions.
