ATP synthase (also known as FoF1-ATP synthase) is a multisubunit integral membrane protein that produce ATP from ADP and Pi using the energy of transmembrane electrochemical potential difference of proton (or sodium ion in some cases). The enzyme is found in bacterial plasma membrane, in thylakoid membrane (chloroplast ATP synthase) and in inner mitochondrial membrane.
The main function of the enzyme is ATP production. However, in some cases (especially in bacteria) the enzyme works in the reverse direction, acting as an ATP-driven proton pump that generates the transmembrane electrochemical potential difference of proton.

When ATP synthase in activated it adds a phosphate group to what molecule?
ATP synthase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to an ADP molecule. ADP + ATP synthase + P --> ATP + ATP synthase (ATP synthase on both sides of the equation indicates that, as an enzyme, it is not used up in the reaction.)
What are enzymes that creates ATP called?
ATP Synthase
How does ATP synthase produce ATP-?
Hydrogen ions flow back down their gradient through a channel in an ATP synthase. The ATP synthase harnesses the proton-motive force to phosphorylate ADP, forming ATP.Read more: How_does_chemiosmosis_produce_ATP
Which enzyme produces most of the cell's ATP?
The ATP-synthase produces most of the cellular ATP.
What cation is transported by ATP synthase when it degrades or makes ATP?
Hydrogen ions.
When ATP synthase in activated it adds a phosphate group to what molecule?
ATP synthase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to an ADP molecule. ADP + ATP synthase + P --> ATP + ATP synthase (ATP synthase on both sides of the equation indicates that, as an enzyme, it is not used up in the reaction.)
What spins to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP?
The rotor part of the ATP synthase enzyme.
Which protein complex allows hydrogen ions to rush out of the thylacoid providing energy that can be used to make a molecule?
ATP synthase allows H+ ions to pass through the thylakoid membrane.
What is the difference between ATPase and ATP synthase?
They both are enzymes related to ATP. The difference lies in that ATPase breaks down ATP while ATP synthase synthesizes ATP.
Where are the catalytic knobs of ATP synthase located?
The catalytic knobs of ATP synthase would be located on the stromal side of the membrane. Protons travel through ATP synthase from the thylakoid space to the stroma.
Where in the process of cellular respiration does ATP synthase make ATP?
ATP synthase is involved in making ATP + P at the membrane in the mitochondria. This occurs at the beginning of the Krebs cycle.
Which of these phosphorylates ADP to make ATP?
ATP synthase
What are enzymes that creates ATP called?
ATP Synthase
Which of the following couples chemiosmosis to energy storage?
ATP synthase couples chemiosmosis to energy storage.
Which of the following is false about the structure and function of ATP synthase?
At least 10 protons pass through ATP synthase in order to make a molecule of ATP.
What do mitochondiral and thylakoid membranes have in common?
They both use ATP synthase proteins in ATP production
How does ATP synthase produce ATP-?
