A.

Summary Introduction

To explain: How the Cl- channels help in acidification.

Introduction: Several cellular organelles are acidified by vacuolar H+-ATPase proton pumps that also function in the mitochondrial ATP synthesis. The electrogenic vacuolar H+-ATPase is responsible for generation of chemical and electrical gradients across the membrane. The vacuolar proton pump acidifies the inner part of the vesicle as well as provides a potential energy source for continuing a variety of coupled transporter. Acidification in the endosomal membrane is achieved by an H+ pump that contains chloride channels (Cl- channels).
