Chapter 20, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction

To propose:

About the number of protons that are found in the matrix of mitochondria.

Introduction:

Protons are found in the intermembrane of mitochondrial space. In the eukaryotic cells of mitochondria from the matrix protons are transferred to the inter membrane space which is between the inside and outside of mitochondria. This creates the motive space for proton.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
For the mitochondrial membrane described in pic, how many protons must be transported to provide enough free energy for the synthesis of 1 mol of ATP (assuming standard biochemical conditions)?
2
The proton-motive force is a measure of the potential energy generated across the mitochondrial inner membrane during electron transport. Explain the factors that constitute this potential energy, that will be converted to the chemical energy of ATP by the cell.   2. The function of the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) in eukaryotic cells is to produce a proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane. How many protons are taken up from the matrix and transferred or used at each ETC complex?
