Answer:
Parotid glands are the largest salivary gland. Each gland is approximately 6 cm long and 3-4 cm wide and can weigh up to 30 grams. They are located within each of our cheeks. In our oral cavity they are responsible for the secretion of about 20% of saliva. This saliva is known as serous i.e. more liquid and fluid. It helps in the first phase of the digestion of food, facilitate mastication "chewing". These glands secrete protein-rich fluid which is a suspension of alpha-amylase enzyme.

Answer:
- Hydrogen ion concentration is lower in the mitochondrial matrix than in the intermembrane space.
- Oxidative phosphorylation relies on the hydrogen ion concentration gradient generated and maintained by the electron transport chain.
- Hydrogen ions enter the mitochondrial matrix via facilitated diffusion.
Explanation:
Oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic pathway by which Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) molecules are produced through the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH2 to molecular oxygen (O2). The hydrogen (H+) ions are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, and this movement of protons generates an electrochemical gradient across the mitochondrial membrane which is used by the ATP synthase to produce ATP. This gradient is generated by the movement of electrons through a series of electron carriers (e.g., cytochrome c and ubiquinone) that are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The movement of these H+ ions across the semipermeable mitochondrial membrane moving down their electrochemical gradient is named chemiosmosis and is an example of facilitated diffusion.
