What passes through ATP synthase and causes ATP molecules to be produced from ADP molecules?

The hydrogen ions ( protons; H+ ) that are falling down their concentration gradient from where they were pumped into the outer lumen of the mitochondria and falling through the ATP-synthase to synthesize ATP ( phosphorylate ) from ADP.

What role do hydrogen and electron ions play in photosynthesis?
it ivaporates then turns into rain!!! :::) <-------whoever wrote this had no idea what they were talking about. hydrogen atoms are funneled through a transport protein on the thylakoid membrane called ATP synthase. this creates energy for the ADP molecules to become ATP, which assists in the formation of glucose in later reactions.
What cause the mosaic pattern of the cell membrane viewed from above?
It causes it because the cell of the membrane are not moving. So therefore it is not moving.
What causes a magnetic field to be produced around a wire?
Current flows through a wire and produces a magnetic field.
What causes water particles to split into hydrogen and oxygen?
molecules
What causes air preasure?
It is caused by the pull of the Earth's gravity on the molecules.
What food molecules do when penetraded by microwave?
Microwave energy excites the molecules of the food. This generates friction and heat at the molecular level. When food is heated, it causes the molecules to speed up, so artificially speeding up the molecules causes heat to be produced.
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 the basic mechanism by which ATP synthase generates ATP in the mitochondria?
The proton gradient set up by the electron transport chain causes mechanical rotation of ATP synthase, and this energy is used to form ATP
How is electricity produced from wind cycles?
Well when it goes through the wind turbines it causes energy to generate. And that's how energy is produced!

Where is most of the ATP made in cellular respiration?
The most ATP is created when NADH+ is reduced in the electron transport chain to NAD which causes a proton gradient that is then pumped through ATP synthase (and enzyme) creating most of the ATP in Cellular Resp.
The movement of h plus plus from the thylokoids space across the membrane and into the stroma causes what to spin and produce ATP?
ATP Synthase
How does an electric bulb?
it works with a circuit.these tiny microscopic molecules travel through the wire. the filament, a very thin metal lets the molecules travel through, but at a much slower pace. this then causes it to burn and light the bulb up.
What causes molecules energy that causes them to vibrate?
Heat!
How does cooking happen in a microwave?
When food is placed inside the microwave oven, the microwave released will 'agitate' the water molecules in the food, which causes heat to be produced, which then cooks the food.
What is released that causes muscle pain?
Lactic acid cause pain in muscles.It is produced through anerobic respiration.
