What is the energy of hydrogen ion gradient created across the inner mitochondrial membrane used to make?
The hydrogen falls down its electrochemical gradient, from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration, through the ATP synthase and provides the force to power this synthase and synthesize ATP.
How is a hydrogen ion gradient created in the ETC of prokaryotic cells?
hmm well, hydrogen ions fuse inside the electron carriers creating a pathway and therefore making thatpath you were wondering about. comprende?
Most of the ATP of aerobic respiration is produced directly from membrane hydrogen gradients created by?
electron transport chain
When did Davison and Danielli created a model of the membrane system?
1903
How does secondary active transport work?
Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)

In what organelle does the electron transport chain function?
The electron transport chain converts energy stored in hydrogen ions and various other substances formed in early cellular respiration to produce high energy ATP in mitochondria. Mitochondria contain both an inner and an outer membrane, and it is along the inner membrane that the actual reactions of the chain occur. Inside the inner membrane a surplus of hydrogen ions is created that produces a concentration gradient across the membrane to the intermembrane space. This gradient causes a force that pushes hydrogen ions out of the innermost matrix and into the intermembrane space. This exchange occurs through special proteins called ATP synthase that convert low energy ADP into high energy ATP whenever a hydrogen ion is sent through one. When all is said and done, the excess electrons and hydrogen are bonded to oxygen to form water molecules.

Gradient Analytics was created in 1996.

ATP synthases produce the force need to add one what to each ADP molecule by spinning when hydrogen ions flow through them?
The electron gradient created by the electron transport chain flows from the inner membrane space to the matrix through the ATP synthase which captures energy from the proton motive force to create lots of ATP in oxadative phosphorylation.
What is the role of ATP synthase and how does is work?
ATP synthase is a key enzyme in energy transformation of a living cell. The enzyme makes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diiphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). ADP + Pi <=> ATP ATP is a universal "energy currency" of a living cell and is essential for DNA synthesis, muscle contraction, ion and nutrients transport, signal transduction, etc. The amazing feature of ATP synthase is rotary catalysis: a complex of subunits rotates relative to the rest of the enzyme and the mechanical energy of rotation is driving ATP synthesis reaction. In turn, the rotation is powered by transport of protons trough the membrane segment of ATP synthase. The driving force for this transport is the electrochemical potential difference of proton across the membrane. ATP synthase is therefore the smallest mechano-electro-chemical energy transducer that works as a nanoturbine. A much more detailed description of ATP synthase is available at www.atpsynthase.info
What is reductive phosphorylation?
Recductive phosphorylation is the opposite of oxidative phosphoroylation. Reductive phosphorylation will occur in photosynthesis, when the chemiosmotic gradient is created because proteins along the thylakoid membrane have channeled hydrogen ions from the stroma to the thylakoid space. After, the hydrogen ions want to go back into the stroma because of the chemiosmotic gradient, and therefore, the enzyme ATP Synthase will open and let them run through. Like a wind turbine, it will spin at the same time, and crush ADP and P to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This whole process as a whole is called reductive phosphorylation because it essentially is one of the steps in reducing (giving electrons) carbon dioxide to glucose.
When was Journal of Membrane Science created?
Journal of Membrane Science was created in 1976.
