Question

The flow of electrons down the respiratory chain allows the active transport of _________ to the outside of the cytoplasmic membrane.

Answer 1

Answer:hydrogen ions

Explanation:in the mitochondria,electrons pass down a chain of carrier molecules from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.energy is released from this process and this energy is used to pump hydrogen ions into the inter membrane space of the mitochondria.this causes a gradient which is harnessed for the formation of ATP from ADP and an inorganic phosphate.
