Energy is often released in the form of hydrogen ions moving down an electrochemical gradient, such in chloroplasts or mitochondria.

three H+ protons


What order does electricity flow through the parts of a motor?

No order. It flows in all of the parts at the same time.


What is the role of atp sythase in photosynthesis?

The hydrogen ions pumped across the innermembrane into the thylacoid space fall down the electrochemical gradient through the ATP synthase where ADP is phosphorylated into ATP which is then used in the Calvin cycle rearrangements of carbon fixed intermediates to produce the gyceraldehyde-3-phosphate sugar the plants need. Simplified explanation.


How many H ions are transported through the membrane during the formation of one ATP molecule?

One hydrogen ion is needed to pass through the ATP synthase in order for one ATP molecule to be created.


Why is it important that a membrane separate the cellular regions on either side of an ATP synthase molecule in order for the protein to perform its function?

A membrane separation is crucial for ATP synthase to establish a proton gradient across the membrane. This gradient serves as the driving force for ATP synthesis as protons flow through the ATP synthase from high to low concentration. Without this separation, the necessary proton gradient cannot be generated.


After the first disruption when electron transfer and ATP synthesize still occur what must be present?

In order for electron transfer and ATP synthesis to continue after the first disruption, an intact electron transport chain and a functioning ATP synthase enzyme must be present. The electron transport chain allows for the movement of electrons, while ATP synthase uses the energy generated from this flow of electrons to produce ATP.


Which countries does the amazon cross list the countries in order?

The Amazon River flows through several countries in South America in the following order: Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela. It starts in Peru and primarily flows through Brazil before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean.


Why do plants and some protist produce chlorophyll?

They produce chlorophyl in order to make energy through photosynthesis.


What do heat flows from?

Heat flows from areas of high temperature to areas of low temperature in order to achieve thermal equilibrium. This flow occurs through conduction, convection, or radiation depending on the medium through which the heat is transferred.


What is the order in which urine flows through the urinary system?

Urine is produced in the kidneys, travels through the ureters to the bladder, and is then expelled through the urethra.
