Answer 1

ANS (A) actively transport H+ into the intermembrane space

The electrochemical proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane is used to drive ATP synthesis in the process of oxidative Phosphorylation. As these ions thread their way through the ATP synthase, they are used to drive the energetically unfavorable reaction between ADP and Pi.

These hydrogen atoms are transported with special carrier molecules called coenzymes to the cristae, and some eventually combine with oxygen to form water. The electrons flow from the coenzymes down to the oxygen atoms, and protons are pumped from the matrix to the intermembrane space.
