Answer:

Three proteins directly contribute to the proton gradient by moving protons across the membrane

Explanation:

The Electron transport chain is a group of proteins and molecules incrusted in the internal mitochondrial membrane and organized into four complexes, I, II, III, and IV. These complexes contain the electron transporters and the enzymes necessary to catalyze the electron transference from one complex to the other. Complex I contains the flavine mononucleotide -FMN- that receives electrons from the NADH. The coenzyme Q, located in the lipidic interior of the membrane, conducts electrons from complex I and II to complex III. The complex III contains cytochrome b, from where electrons go to cytochrome c, which is a peripheric membrane protein. Electrons travel from cytochrome c to cytochromes a and a3, located in the complex IV. Finally, they go back to the matrix, where they combine to H+ ions and oxygen, to form the water molecule. As electrons are transported through the chain, protons are bombed through three proteinic complexes from the matrix to the intermembrane space. These are complexes I, III and IV.

why is the only path of conduction for impulse transmission from the atria to the ventricles through the av node and av bundle?
velikii [3]

Because the AV node takes on the role of a very important delay in the cardiac conduction system. Without this delay, the atria and ventricles would contract at the same time.

<h3>Cardiac conduction system</h3>

The conduction system of the heart sends electrical signals, usually generated by the sinus nodes, causing the heart muscle to contract. Pacemaker signals originating from the sinus node travel through the right atrium to the atrioventricular (AV) along the bundle of His and through branches of the bundle, causing myocardial contraction. This signal first stimulates contraction of the right and left atria then flows to the right and left ventricles. That electric current then allows blood to be pumped throughout the body.
