Which effects the increased levels of hydrogen ions in the inter-membrane space of the mitochondria?

(a) Increase ATP production

(b) Decreased levels of oxidative phosphorylation

(c) Increased levels of water in inter-membrane space

(d) Decreased levels of chemiosmosis

I had been asked this question in an interview for job.

This key question is from Regulation of Oxidative Phosphorylation topic in section Oxidative Phosphorylation and Photophosphorylation of Biochemistry

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) Increase ATP production

To explain: There is an increased ATP production if the levels of hydrogen ions increase in the inter-membrane space of the mitochondria.
