A) outer membrane
B) inner membrane
C) inter membrane space
D) matrix
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
| [B] During the passage of two electrons from one an- electron carrier (NADH) to another on ETC, enough energy is liberated that pumps out three pairs of protons \[({{H}^{+}})\] from matrix, (inner chamber) to outer chamber (inter membrane space) of mitochondria. The accumulation of protons in inter membrane space results their higher concentration than in the matrix creating a proton gradient \[(\Delta pH)\] and electric potential \[(\Delta \psi )\] across the membrane. |
