Phosphate (P_i)is transported into the mitochondria from the cytosol by a phosphate carrier which is driven by the A)hydrolysis of ATP. B)simultaneous transport of H⁺ into the mitochondrion. C)simultaneous transport of ADP into the mitochondrion. D)simultaneous transport of H⁺ out of the mitochondrion. E)simultaneous transport of ATP out of the mitochondrion.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phosphate carrier is driven by the simultaneous transport of H+ into the mitochondrion, creating an electrochemical gradient that drives the transport of Pi into the matrix.
