Proton motive force is the net sum of how many gradient components?(a) 1(b) 2(c) 3(d) 4I had been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.This question is from Aerobic Respiration topic in section Nucleus & Aerobic Respiration of Cell Biology

Answer»

Right option is (b) 2

Easiest explanation: Proton motive FORCE is a measure of electrochemical GRADIENT. Because the translocation of protons across the membrane lead to a difference of hydrogen ion concentration and a difference of CHARGE, the energy PRESENT in both components of the proton electrochemical gradient are combined and expressed as proton motive force.
