50 pts: What is the term used to describe the build-up of a higher concentration of H+ on one side of the inner membrane of the mitochondrion than on the other side during the electron transport chain?
chemiosmotic gradient
facilitated diffusion
proton diffusion
ion gradient

The Grotthuss mechanism (also known as proton jumping) is the process by which an 'excess' proton or proton defect diffuses through the hydrogen bond network of water molecules or other hydrogen-bonded liquids through the formation and concomitant cleavage of covalent bonds involving neighboring molecules.
