b: charging a battery
What:
"I'm sure you already know that mitochondria are the "powerhouse of the cell", which involves pumping protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane to generate a proton gradient. Generating the proton gradient is like charging a battery, and it provides the energy required for various mitochondrial proteins to function."
