74. Pumping of protons (H+) by multi-protein complexes of the respiratory chain shifts these ions directly into the

A. Mitochondrial matrix
B. Intermembrane space
C. Cytoplasm matrix
D. Lysosomal cavity

📝 Explanation

Electron flow drives complexes I, III, and IV to pump protons out of the matrix into the intermembrane space, creating a reservoir of high proton concentration.

📖 Additional Information

  • Mitochondrial matrix
  • Intermembrane space
  • Cytoplasm matrix
  • Lysosomal cavity

Electron flow drives complexes I, III, and IV to pump protons out of the matrix into the intermembrane space, creating a reservoir of high proton concentration.
