Question
The glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle can transport cytosolic NADH equivalents into the mitochondrial matrix (see Fig. 15.11c). In this
shuttle, the protons and electrons are donated to FAD, which is reduced to FADH₂. These protons and electrons are subsequently
donated to coenzyme Q in the electron transport chain.

Transport of inorganic phosphate from the intermembrane space to the mitochondrial matrix affects the pH difference across the
inner mitochondrial membrane.
A phosphate ion enters the mitochondrial matrix in antiport with a proton (see Fig. 15.6b). This proton moves in
the same direction as the protons translocated by Complexes I, III, and IV. Thus, the difference in pH between the
mitochondrial matrix and the intermembrane space becomes smaller
