For every two electrons that traverse Complex IV, _______ pumped or vectorial protons are translocated.

Solutions

Expert Solution

For every two electrons that traverse Complex IV , two protons are removed from the mitochondrial matrix although only one proton is translocated across the membrane.

Hence, only one proton is pumped or vectorial proton is translocated for every two electrons that traverse Complex IV.
