The electron transport chain pumps hydrogen ions into the mitochondrial intermembrane space.

The electron transport chain creates the hydrogen ion concentration gradient by moving hydrogen ions from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space.

The mitochondrial matrix is the starting point where hydrogen ions are pumped out into the intermembrane space, creating a concentration gradient.

The electron transport chain creates a hydrogen ion gradient that drives ATP synthesis through ATP synthase.

The intermembrane space accumulates hydrogen ions, creating a gradient that is essential for ATP production.

The intermembrane space is involved in creating the electrochemical gradient by accumulating hydrogen ions.

The primary function of the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration is to pump hydrogen ions into the intermembrane space, creating a gradient for ATP synthesis.

The hydrogen ion gradient drives ATP synthase to produce ATP by allowing hydrogen ions to flow back into the mitochondrial matrix.

ATP is produced by ATP synthase as hydrogen ions flow down their gradient from the intermembrane space to the mitochondrial matrix.

The electron transport chain establishes the concentration gradient by pumping hydrogen ions into the intermembrane space.

The mitochondrial matrix is where hydrogen ions are initially located before being pumped into the intermembrane space, contributing to the electrochemical gradient.

The hydrogen ion gradient is crucial for ATP production, as it powers ATP synthase to convert ADP to ATP.

Active transport is used by the Electron Transport Chain to pump hydrogen ions against their concentration gradient into the intermembrane space.

The electron transport chain lowers the pH of the intermembrane space by increasing the concentration of hydrogen ions.

The final destination of hydrogen ions in the electron transport chain is the intermembrane space of the mitochondria.
