During aerobic respiration, a majority of the ATP that is created is a result of the overall movement of potassium ions being pumped into the inner membrane space of the mitochondria electrons moving against a concentration gradient protons moving through a channel protein from an area of high concentration to low concentration electrons being transported through a channel protein receptor-mediated endocytosis

The majority of ATP is produced during oxidative phosphorylation, where the movement of protons (H+) through the ATP synthase enzyme generates ATP. This movement of protons is driven by the proton gradient established by the electron transport chain, where Show more…

5. During respiration, most ATP is formed as a direct result of the net movement of A potassium against a concentration gradient B protons down a concentration gradient C electrons against a concentration gradient D electrons through a channel E sodium ions into the cell

During oxidative phosphorylation of cell respiration, H+ ions move through the membrane pumping electrons from one side of the membrane to the other. ATP is synthesized when H+ ions move through a protein channel provided by ATP synthase. ATP pushes electrons through membrane carriers creating a H+ ion gradient. a concentration gradient is generated when large numbers of H+ ions passively diffuse from the matrix of the mitochondrion to the mitochondrion's intermembrane space. a phosphate is transferred from an organic molecule to ADP.

In cellular respiration, as a result of the electron transport chain, a proton gradient is established. Where in the cell are the protons concentrated? In the intermembrane space, between the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondrion.
