Phosphates are negatively charged because they have already dissociated ...

Therefore this case is not interesting. It is interesting - is electron transfer possible through ...

See, I thought they were involved with proton pumps but then I read that those are only in non-human cells. And yeah, I just mean protons/hydrongs. Not actual gasses.

Hi The proton gradient in bacteria are mostly used to create ATP and to drive the flagella as far as I know. In gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli this is easy for me to understand, just send the protons out to the periplasm ...
