In the outer lumen and they are stripped from the derivatives of glucose along with electrons used in electron transport. Protons are moved across the inner membrane of the mitochondria by the action of electrons moving down the electron chain where the final acceptor is oxygen. The protons build up a concentration and move back down their concentration gradient through ATP synthase and produce said ATP.

Which accumulates in the inter membrane space of the mitochondrion during electron transport?

During electron transport in the mitochondrion, protons (H+) accumulate in the intermembrane space. This happens as electrons are transferred through the electron transport chain, creating a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This gradient of protons is later utilized by ATP synthase to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.


Why do protons accumulate outside the membrane and why is this necessary?

Protons accumulate outside the membrane, so that a concentration-gradiënt is established. Because of this the protons want to flow inside, and this "current of protons" is enhanced by a membrane enzyme, called ATP-synthase to produce ATP. So, basically a potential is created, which can power the production of ATP.
