A protein channel in a hydrogen ion pump is shown below. What would happen if the concentration of H+ ions were higher inside the mitochondrion than outside the mitochondrion when the channel opened?

The H+ ions moves outside.

Explanation:

The H+ ions moves outside the mitochondria of the cell if the concentration of H ions were higher inside the mitochondrion than outside environment of the mitochondrion in order to equalize the pH or H+ ions concentration of both inner side of mitochondria and outer side environment. This movement of H+ ions from a region of higher concentration to the region of lower through a semi-permeable membrane is known as osmosis which has a positive effect on the cell as well as organelles of the cell.

affects the water bodies: excessive use of fertilizers causes eutrophication. the fertilizers which are used on plants affect the quality of land on which it is used, further causing erosion of soil. the fertilizers used on plants contain harmful chemical fumes which affect the environment.
