What else can I help you with?
Is it true that the region of atp synthase that catalyzes the production of atp from ADP and inorganic phosphate spans the chloroplast membrane?
No, the region of ATP synthase that catalyzes the production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate spans the inner mitochondrial membrane, not the chloroplast membrane. In chloroplasts, ATP synthase is located in the thylakoid membrane and is responsible for generating ATP during photosynthesis.
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 is the difference between ATP synthesis and ATP synthase?
synthases do not use energy from NTP's, sythetases do! synthase can be used with any enzyme that catalyzes synthesis (whether or not it uses nucleoside triphosphates), whereas synthetase is to be used synonymously with 'ligase'.
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 drives ATP synthase reactions the produced ATP?
Inside the intermembrane space, there is a buildup of hydrogen ions from the ETC. The hydrogen ions go down the concentration gradient through ATP synthase, producing ATP.
What powers the ATP synthase enzyme in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process that plants convert solar energy into the energy stored in chemical bonds. This consists of two reactions, light dependent and light independent.
What enzyme is responsible for synthesizing ATP?
The enzyme is ATP synthase (sometimes referred to as "ATP synthetase").It catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from ADP and free inorganic phosphate. It is a remarkable enzyme, part of which spins round. In fact, ATP synthase has been called a molecular machine.To see an image, use the link below.
Is ATP synthase a protein?
Yes, ATP synthase is a protein.
Which of the following part(s) of ATP synthase is involved in catalysis?
Beta subunit
ATP synthase acts as both an enzyme and a carrier protein for what ions?
ATP synthase acts as both an enzyme and a carrier protein primarily for protons (H⁺ ions). It utilizes the proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane (or thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts) to drive the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. As protons flow through the ATP synthase complex, it catalyzes the conversion of ADP to ATP, coupling the energy from the proton motive force to this essential biochemical reaction.
Is ATP synthase an integral protein?
Yes, ATP synthase is an integral protein.
