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.
Do organisms always maintain the hydrogen ion concentration gradient?
No, organisms do not always maintain the hydrogen ion concentration gradient. Disruption of the hydrogen ion concentration gradient can occur due to factors such as illness, physical stress, or exposure to toxins, which can affect cellular processes and overall health.
What intrinsic protein is responsible for maintaining the H ion gradient?
The ATP synthase enzyme is responsible for maintaining the H+ ion gradient in cellular respiration. It uses the energy from the H+ gradient to generate ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
What is the energy of the hydrogen ion gradient created across the inner mitochondrial membrane used to make?
electron transport chain
How is a hydrogen ion gradient created in the ETC of prokaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells create a hydrogen ion gradient in the electron transport chain (ETC) by pumping hydrogen ions across the inner membrane of the cell during the electron transfer process. This creates a concentration gradient, with more hydrogen ions on one side of the membrane than the other, which generates a proton motive force used by ATP synthase to produce ATP.
