Explain why adding protons to the treated mitochondria increase ATP synthesis?

Because protons are no longer being used to power the ATP synthase, the proton gradient is not dissipated; the increasingly steep proton gradient makes it increasingly difficult for the electron-transport proteins to pump protons out of the matrix, and electron transport quickly stops.

the rocks are classified by the geological process they are formed by. the three main groups of rocks are igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. minerals are not they are classified under the chemical classes they are in. these groups include silicates, sulfates and carbonates.
