The following statements concern the relationship between mitochondrial hydrogen ion concentration and energy storage as ATP during oxidative phosphorylation. Classify each statement as either accurate or inaccurate. Accurate statements Inaccurate statements H* ions move through a channel formed by ATP synthase releasing energy to form ATP. Energy is generated as a result of the difference in hydrogen ion concentration between the mitochondrial matrix and the cytoplasm. Hydrogen ions cannot freely pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane. ATP synthase uses energy from ATP to H* concentration is higher in the intermembrane move H* into the mitochondrial matrix. space than in the mitochondrial matrix. The pH in the intermembrane space is higher than the pH in the mitochondrial matrix.
