The proton motive force arises from a combination of the concentration gradient of protons and a voltage gradient across the membrane (the protons are positively charged, so an imbalance of protons means that the side of the membrane with more protons has a positive charge relative to the side with fewer protons).
Best Answer: It causes none of those. When the action potential reaches the axon terminal, it causes the vesicle sacs to release neurotransmitters into the synapse. The neurotransmitters float across the synapse to the dendrite of the postsynaptic cell. This is really a biology question.
