Answer :
Inhibition of electron flow inhibits mitochondrial ATP synthesis, and inhibition of mitochondrial ATP synthesis inhibits electron flow. The difference in hydrogen ion concentration between the matrix of actively respiring mitochondria and the intermembrane space is the foundation of the chemiosmotic coupling mechanism.
The potential energy of the proton gradient that has formed between the inter-membrane space and matrix of the mitochondria is the immediate energy source that propels ATP synthesis by ATP synthase during oxidative phosphorylation. The pumping of protons that occurs along with the exchange of electrons is what produces the hydrogen ion gradient.
