Question

A) For a mitochondrion prior to chemiosmosis, the concentration of H+ ions in the intermembrane space is 375 nM and the concentration of H+ ions in the matrix is 15 nM with a membrane potential of 170mV from matrix to intermembrane space. What is the maximum amount of work per mol of H+ transferred across the inner mitochondrial membrane that can be done by one mitochondrion given the above conditions at body temperature B) The reported free energy of ATP synthesis in the mitochondrion is about 60 kJ/mol. Given the value calculated in part a, what is the ratio of H+ consumption to ATP production during chemiosmosis?

Explanation / Answer

52 Kj/mol
