Where from, and from what molecules, do the protons for the ATP synthase channel come from? Is the movement through the channel active or passive?
Added by Jonathan H.
Step 1
These protons are generated through the process of oxidative phosphorylation, specifically during the electron transport chain (ETC). As electrons are passed along the ETC, protons are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix or cytoplasm into the intermembrane or Show more…
