QUESTION:✍️

What is responsible for creating the H+ gradient in the Electron Transport Chain?

ANSWER:✍️

The ETC is a collection of proteins bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane and organic molecules, which electrons pass through in a series of redox reactions, and release energy. The energy released forms a proton gradient, which is used in chemiosmosis to make a large amount of ATP by the protein ATP- synthase.
