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 +.

Where is ATP made in the mitochondria?

ATP is made in the mitochondria through a process called oxidative phosphorylation, which occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. The electron transport chain generates a proton gradient across the inner membrane, which drives the production of ATP by ATP synthase.

During the first electron transport chain in which direction are protons actively pumped?

Protons are actively pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space during the first electron transport chain. This creates a proton gradient that is essential for ATP production.

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 ^^'


Why are protons (H) pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane?

Protons (H) are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane to create a proton gradient, which is used to generate ATP through a process called oxidative phosphorylation. This ATP is the main source of energy for the cell.
