Hello questioners and answerers:
Yes, Ashley B., the term "proton" is usually used to refer to the positively charged particle within an atom's nucleus, but the same word "proton" is also used in pharmacology/biology in the expression "proton pump", something that will transport protons actively from the matrix of the mitochondrion to the inter-membrane space in the human body.
