also referred to as "Chemiosmotic Synthesis of ATP", hydrogen ions are removed from one side of the membrane to another. (inside to out), generating a proton gradient across the membrane.
So we have a high concn of H+ ions outside the cell membrane. This causes the H+ ions in urgent need to get back inside with diffusion, thus protons move across membrane through special channels.
Their passage drives the synthesis of ATP as well.
btw this is also Active Transport. (ATP from cell is required).

Hydrogen pumps move hydrogen ions into which structure?
The thylakoid
What is the formula for the hydrogen phosphate ion?
The formula for hydrogen phosphate ion is: H2PO4−
Does a hydrogen ion is a negatively charged hydrogen atom?
No, typically hydrogen forms a positive ion.
What does one hydrogen ion and one hydroxide ion make?
This combination produces water.Water molecules are consist of a hydrogen ion and a hydroxide ion. One hydrogen ion and one hydroxide ion combines to make a water mlecule.
What is the chemical formula for hydrogen ion?
HTeO4- is the formula for hydrogen tellurate ion.
What type of transport do the hydrogen ion pumps use?
Hydrogen ion pumps primarily use active transport to move hydrogen ions (H+) across a membrane against their concentration gradient. This process requires energy, typically derived from ATP hydrolysis or, in some cases, from the electrochemical gradient of other ions. Active transport allows these pumps to maintain specific ion concentrations essential for various cellular functions, including pH regulation and membrane potential.
What is hydrogen ion movement?
Hydrogen ion movement refers to the migration of positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) across cellular membranes, which plays a critical role in various biological processes such as cellular respiration and pH regulation. This movement is often facilitated by proteins such as ion channels, pumps, and transporters to maintain the balance of hydrogen ions inside and outside the cell.
How is a hydrogen ion written?
A Hydrogen ion is written as H+.
Is hydrogen a ion?
Hydrogen can be an ion, or it can be electrically neutral.
Hydrogen pumps move hydrogen ions into which structure?
The thylakoid
What is the formula for the hydrogen phosphate ion?
The formula for hydrogen phosphate ion is: H2PO4−
What would happen to the dog if the hydrogen ion pumps in its mitochondria stopped functioning?
If the hydrogen ion pumps in a dog's mitochondria stopped functioning, it would disrupt the electron transport chain, leading to a decrease in ATP production. This could result in decreased energy levels, impaired cellular function, and potentially organ failure if severe and left untreated.
Does a hydrogen ion is a negatively charged hydrogen atom?
No, typically hydrogen forms a positive ion.
What is the number neutrons in a hydrogen ion?
The hydrogen ion H+ has no neutrons.
What is the formula of the hydrogen ion?
Since hydrogen is normally a gas it is found in nature in its diatomic from (H2) but if hydrogen is alone as an ion its found as H+
What are the hydrogen ion and hydrogen ion concentrations in water?
These concentrations are supposed to be equal.
What does one hydrogen ion and one hydroxide ion make?
This combination produces water.Water molecules are consist of a hydrogen ion and a hydroxide ion. One hydrogen ion and one hydroxide ion combines to make a water mlecule.
