Answer:

Electrochemical gradients of protons, driven by Proton Motive Force.

Explanation:

NADH and FADH2 are the two coenzymes that ferry Hydrogen atoms into the mitochondria matrix.The Hydrogen atoms is splits into H+/protons and electrons.

The protons is continuously pumped across the matrix into the intramembrane of the mitochondria setting up an electrochemical gradient.

The influx of protons down the electrochemical gradients into the matrix generated the energy needed by the enzyme ATPase synthase to phosphorylate ADP with inorganic phosphate ion(Pi) to give ATPs.

Thus the influx of protons down their electrochemical gradients is the immediate source of energy.

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The average temperature of a freshwater wetland in summer is 76 degrees Fahrenheit. The average temperature in winter is 30 degrees Fahrenheit. The climate in freshwater wetlands is usually semitropical, as freezing conditions rarely occur.
