Imagine that you develop a procedure to measure the pH of in the matrix and the intermembrane space of a mitochondrion. What pattern of pH would you see? O The pH in the intermembrane space will contain more H+ and have a lower pH compared to the matrix. The pH in the intermembrane space will contain more H+ and have a higher pH compared to the matrix. The pH within the matrix will contain more H+ and have a lower pH compared to the intermembrane space. The pH within the matrix will contain more H+ and have a higher pH compared to the intermembrane space.

Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Understanding pH Patterns in Mitochondrial Compartments**
**Text:**
Imagine that you develop a procedure to measure the pH of the matrix and the intermembrane space of a mitochondrion. What pattern of pH would you see?
- The pH in the intermembrane space will contain more H+ and have a lower pH compared to the matrix.
- The pH in the intermembrane space will contain more H+ and have a higher pH compared to the matrix.
- The pH within the matrix will contain more H+ and have a lower pH compared to the intermembrane space.
- The pH within the matrix will contain more H+ and have a higher pH compared to the intermembrane space.
**Explanation:**
This scenario explores the proton gradient across mitochondrial compartments. In a typical mitochondrion, the intermembrane space is more acidic (contains more H+) than the mitochondrial matrix, leading to a lower pH in the intermembrane space. This gradient is crucial for ATP synthesis during cellular respiration.
