What type of ion is built into gradient so ATP synthase can work?
H+ ions (protons) are built into a gradient.
How is gradient of ions maintained in the mitochondria?
By the action of electrons going down the electron transfer chain the energy is provided to pump H + into the outer lumen of the mitochondria creating the concentration gradient for H + to come down it's concentration gradient through the ATP synthase.
What intrinsic protein is responsible for maintaining the H ion gradient?
Proton pumps as well as ATP synthase operating in reverse maintain the hydrogen ion gradient of a cell.
How is H electrochemical gradient established and maintained in photosynthesis?
The formation of NADPH, the movement of electrons from PSII to PSI, & the splitting of water
Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffus down its concentration gradient?
If you carefully put a drop of food coloring in a large container, you will notice that it will begin to move away from the place where the drop began. It actually, over a long time, it will diffuse all through the container. If the container is very large you may not even see the color any more. Since it moves away from the main drop, it is moving down the concentration gradient.
What is H plus concentration gradient?
It is the concentration difference.If H+ concentration high in a place and low in another place,there is a H+ gradient.
What type of ion is built into gradient so ATP synthase can work?
H+ ions (protons) are built into a gradient.
How is gradient of ions maintained in the mitochondria?
By the action of electrons going down the electron transfer chain the energy is provided to pump H + into the outer lumen of the mitochondria creating the concentration gradient for H + to come down it's concentration gradient through the ATP synthase.
What is hydraulic gradient?
It is ratio of height to length ie., h/L.
What are the units of velocity gradient?
The velocity gradient (du/dy) where du is the change in velocity and dy is the change in distance between plates, would have units of (1/time) or (1/sec).Hope this helps!
In photosynthesis an H plus ion gradient froms across what?
across the thylakoid membrane
What energy helps to reform ATP from ADP and phosphate?
A proton (H+) gradient
What intrinsic protein is responsible for maintaining the H ion gradient?
Proton pumps as well as ATP synthase operating in reverse maintain the hydrogen ion gradient of a cell.
How does the concentration gradient of h plus ions help to make ATP?
A concentration gradient is a representatinve of energy storage. ATP the energy currency of the cell will require this conc. gradient for its formation. HIgher the conc. gradient the higher will be the stored energy and high the no of ATP can be formed.
How does the concentration gradient of H plus ions help make ATP?
High concentration of H+ ion in the intermembrane lead to the movement of H+ ions into the inner membrane
What are cytochrome carriers?
they are part of the electron transport chain and they are involved with the pumps that create the concentration gradient of H+
What has the author P J C H Cools written?
P. J. C. H. Cools has written: 'Characterization of copolymers by gradient polymer elution chromatography'
