electron transport chain
Yes, the generation of proton gradients across membranes occurs in both photosynthesis and respiration. In photosynthesis, protons are pumped across the thylakoid membrane during the light reactions. In respiration, protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane during the electron transport chain.
Mitochondria are not directly involved in transporting glucose across the cell membrane. Glucose transport into the cell is primarily facilitated by glucose transport proteins located on the cell membrane. These transport proteins utilize concentration gradients to move glucose into or out of the cell as needed.
Water is released during aerobic respiration after oxygen accepts hydrogen. This occurs during the electron transport chain in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Ion channels, such as sodium-potassium pumps, help maintain concentration gradients of ions across a neuronal membrane. These channels actively transport ions across the membrane, moving them against their concentration gradients to establish and regulate the resting membrane potential.
Hydrogen pumps move hydrogen ions into the thylakoid lumen of chloroplasts during the process of photosynthesis. This creates a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane, which is essential for ATP synthesis. In cellular respiration, similar proton pumps are found in the inner mitochondrial membrane, contributing to the generation of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

A paramecium exchanges gases directly with its environment through the cell membrane.

They must interact with the electrons and hydrogen.
Hydrogen pumps, such as the hydrogen potassium ATPase pump, move hydrogen ions across the cell membrane, typically from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space or from the extracellular space to the cytoplasm. This movement helps maintain pH balance and electrochemical gradients essential for various cellular functions.
Ion channels, such as sodium-potassium pumps, help maintain concentration gradients of ions across a neuronal membrane. These channels actively transport ions across the membrane, moving them against their concentration gradients to establish and regulate the resting membrane potential.
Generation of proton gradients across membranes occurs during cellular respiration in the electron transport chain. This process involves the movement of electrons through a series of protein complexes, which pump protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane, creating a proton gradient that is used to generate ATP through ATP synthase.
Active Transport
In eukaryotes respiration happens in the mitochondria and in prokaryotes the mechanisms of respiration are in the cell membrane as protons must be taken in through the membrane.
The first electron carrier that pumps hydrogen ions during cellular respiration is NADH dehydrogenase (complex I) in the electron transport chain. It pumps hydrogen ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane from the matrix to the intermembrane space.
Protein channels in hydrogen ion pumps, such as the F0 portion of ATP synthase, facilitate the movement of hydrogen ions (protons) across a membrane. This movement creates an electrochemical gradient that is used to generate ATP in cellular respiration. The protein channel allows only hydrogen ions to pass through, maintaining the integrity of the membrane.
