Detailed explanation-1: -So, more hydrogen ions in the intermembrane space = more movement of hydrogen ions through ATP synthase = more ATP produced! Therefore, our only correct answer from the options given is C: if the number of hydrogen ions in the intermembrane space significantly increases, more ATP will be produced.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: There is an increased ATP production if the levels of hydrogen ions increase in the inter-membrane space of the mitochondria.
Detailed explanation-3: -Intermembrane space of mitochondria This process pumps protons (H+) into the intermembrane space. The gradient created (high concentration of protons in the intermembrane space and low concentration in the matrix) causes protons to flow through ATP synthetase in the inner membrane resulting in production of ATP.
Detailed explanation-4: -Low pH increases the concentration of base causing mitochondria to pump out H+ to the inter membrane space leading to ATP production.
Detailed explanation-5: -Most of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesized during glucose metabolism is produced in the mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation. This is a complex reaction powered by the proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane, which is generated by mitochondrial respiration.
