Answer:

The inner mitochondrial membrane thus represents the principal site of ATP generation, and this critical role is reflected in its structure. Otherwise, the inner membrane is impermeable to most ions and small molecules—a property critical to maintaining the proton gradient that drives oxidative phosphorylation.

Answer: The aluminum atom loses electrons to form an ion.

The ion that is formed is positive

Second Part of the question: What is the name of the aluminum ion?

Answer : Al+3

Explanation: An aluminum ion has a charge of +3. It is not a neutral atom. It has a + charge, the electrons must have been taken away (electrons have a negative charge). Since the atomic number is 13, the number of protons is thirteen. In a neutral atom, there would be thirteen electrons. You take away 3. There is 10 electrons in Aluminum Ion.
