Detailed explanation-1: -The ATP synthase is a mitochondrial enzyme localized in the inner membrane, where it catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from ADP and phosphate, driven by a flux of protons across a gradient generated by electron transfer from the proton chemically positive to the negative side.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The movement of protons (H+) down a concentration gradient through ATP synthase occurs from the inter-membrane space of the mitochondria (where protons accumulate) to the mitochondria matrix, passing through ATP synthase located on the mitochondria’s inner membrane.
Detailed explanation-3: -As H +start superscript, plus, end superscript ions flow down their gradient and back into the matrix, they pass through an enzyme called ATP synthase, which harnesses the flow of protons to synthesize ATP.
