Question

additional energy would be required to move h+ back through atp synthase into the intermembrane space. true false previous

Explanation:

In cellular respiration's electron - transport chain, H+ ions are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space, creating an electrochemical gradient. ATP synthase uses the energy from the flow of H+ ions from the intermembrane space back into the matrix to produce ATP. Moving H+ back from the matrix into the intermembrane space against the established gradient would indeed require additional energy.

Answer:

True
