Yes, only then can the protons in the intermembrane space move through the ATP synthase into the matrix by diffusion, and as they move through ATP synthase, the enzyme c an harness the available energy thus allowing the phosphorylation of ATP

Example of diffusion inside the human body?
The lungs utilize diffusion to transfer oxygen into the blood stream and take the CO2 out. Another example is the oxygen gradient set up in the ATP transfer cycle.
What is the incoming energy source for electron transport chain?
The electron transport chain is the driving energy behind ATP synthesis. The energy itself comes from electron donors. In chloroplast, this donor's glucose.
What is ATP in kids terms?
ATP - Adenosine Triphospate, is not easy for kids to understand. The easiest relative description of this is replacing the term ATP with "energy".
What is the energy molecule for all living things?
Last I heard, the energy molecule for humans is ATP, adenosine triphosphate. I don't think that other living things such as plants have ATP. They do photosynthesis. But regarding humans, ATP is taught to be the energy molecule.
Protons are moved into the thylakoid using energy from where?
ATP.
Is hydrogen gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane a cellular energy currency?
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.
What enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of ATP using a proton gradient?
The ATP synthase, of course. Another rotary motor.
Synthesis of ATP via a proton gradient is called?
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).
What is the effect of ammonium chloride to chloroplast?
NH3 enters the thylakoid lumen and eats the protons, by binding them it and decreases the proton gradient compared to the outside of the lumen. This "uncouples" the proton motive and reduces ATP synthesis
The difference between oxidative phosphorylation and chemiosmotic coupling?
oxidative phosphorylation does not involve with the respiratory complex in the inner mitochondria membrane. Oxidative phosphorylation useful in generate the production of ATP from the proton gradient or proton motive force. Chemiosmotic coupling invilve the manner of ETC on how its create the proton gradient and the proton gradient is indirectly directed with the production of ATP.The proton gradient causes the conformational change of tigthly binding of ATP to open binding ATP .Then ATP can be released and be used to the metabolic cell needs and translocate the ATP to cytoplasm that can be used to phosphorylate substrate.
ATP synthase works by means of?
a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane
What energy helps to reform ATP from ADP and phosphate?
A proton (H+) gradient
Energy used to establish the protein gradient across the thylakoid membrane comes from where?
Synthesis of ATP
What is the movement of potassium into an animal cell requires?
The movement of potassium into an animal cell requires an energy source such as ATP or a proton gradient. Water passes quickly through cell membranes because it moves through aquaporins in the membrane.
What situations does not represent a transformation of one type of energy to another?
the coupling of ATP hydrolysis to the production of a proton gradient across a membrane by a proton pump
Were does the energy to move hydrogen ions across the thylakoid membrane come from?
where does the energy used to establish the proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane come from? In other words, from splitting of water. well that's not what he said but there you go.
What is the role of hydrogen ion gradient used for in cellular respiration in the mitochondria?
The hydrogen ion gradient is used to drive ATP synthesis. 32 to 34 molecules of ATP are produced. The hydrogen ion gradient is the result of NADH in the electron transport system of the mitochondria.
