Which of the following are part of the chemiosmotic coupling model? Protons are pumped out of the mitochondrial matrix into the
Lina20 [59]

The correct answer is: Protons are pumped out of the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space

Chemiosmosis can be described as movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient. It occurs during the cellular respiration within mitochondria and it is involved in ATP synthesis (oxidative phosphorylation via ATP synthase).

Electrons from electron carriers (NADH and FADH) donate electrons to the electron transport chain and that causes changes in protein complexes of electron transport chain. As a consequence, protein complexes pump H+ across a selectively permeable cell membrane from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space of mitochondria.  

H+ can only get back and pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane with the help of ATP synthase (down their electrochemical gradient). ATP synthase turned by the force of the H+ diffusing through it forms ATP by adding a phosphate to ADP.

Between two organisms in
Ainat [17]

Answer:

This question is not well placed. It should be " a relationship between two organisms in which both benefit is called".

The answer is SYMBIOSIS

Explanation:

Living organisms tend to interact with one another in their natural environment. This interaction are of different types depending on the effect on the involved organisms. One of those interactions is SYMBIOSIS. Symbiosis is a relationship between two organisms in which both of the organisms benefit from one another.

An example is the relationship between the "CATTLE AND EGRET". The cattle provides food for the egret when they feed on the insect parasites on their body while the egret helps the cow get rid of detrimental parasites.
