Question

In electron transport system electron is accepted by oxygen and then it reacts with hydrogen ion to form water but how it gets hydrogen ion as they are released in inter membrane space but oxygen is placed in matrix if mitrochondria ? Pls ans only this dint give a para on ETS

Answer 1

Explanation:

During electron transport, energy is used to pump hydrogen ions across the mitochondrial inner membrane, from the matrix into the intermembrane space. A chemiosmotic gradient causes hydrogen ions to flow back across the mitochondrial membrane into the matrix, through ATP synthase, producing ATP.
