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.

Describe the structure and function of the 4 subunits of ATP synthase?
ATP synthase is a multisubunit complex with four main parts, each made up of multiple polypeptides. Protons move one by one into binding sites on one of the parts, causing it to spin in a way that catalyzes ATP production from ADP and inorganic phosphate. The flow of protons behaves somewhat like a rushing stream that turns a waterwheel. ATP synthase is the smallest molecular rotary motor known in nature.
Does ATP synthase spine like a turbine as H ions pass through it to generate ATP?
The electrochemical gradient of hydrogen in the mitochondrial intermembrane space drives H ions through ATP syntase to ultimately generate ATP. The F0 (pronounced F-naught) region is the part of ATP synthanse that is embedded in the intermembrane, and contains the part often referred to as the rotor or turbine. The binding of H ions to the rotor causes it to spin within the membrane, along with the gamma subunit, which is what causes the conformational changes in the ATP producing area to occur. The passing of the H ions doesn't cause the spin, but as the ions bind to the rotor it does spin (correlation vs. causation).
Can dizziness be caused by problems with vision or eye sight?
No, dizzyness has to do with your ears. If you get up to fast, or spin, the liquids in your ears spin with it, but when you stop, the liquids are still spinning, which causes a dizzyness feeling in your head. This happens because your brain thinks that you are still spinning, but your not. LIke with an egg, sometimes, if you spin the egg, it will stop, then spin the other way a little. that's because the liquid int eh egg is still moving.
How does spinning effect your semicircular canals?
when you spin, fluid in your semicircular canals begin to move. they touch the hairs on your nerves. This causes your brain to think that you are oddly positioned, and therefore, you go into vertigo!
What is the role of the mitotic spindle in mitosis?
it is when the spin start to swist and it can cause the person a lot of pain and suffuring. The only cer for this disease is to go throw serger and have uor spin remove and have this metal pin put in place.
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

Spin causes electrons to?
Spin causes electrons to exhibit magnetism.
What causes a motor to spin?
the starter
How does the fabric softener dispenser work?
Centrifigal force. The spin speed during the rinse cycle is faster which causes the liquid to escape the dispenser.
What causes an engine to spin backwards?
backfiring.
What causes turbines to spin in hydroelectric power?
Heat
What energy causes blades to spin?
Rotational energy
How does heat make paper spiral spin?
Heat causes air to rise by convection. As the air rises it applies pressure to the underside of the blades. This causes the paper spiral to spin.
Why does the room spin when you consume alcohol?
rooms do not spin when you consume alcochol, it is a mental effect the alcohol causes you to see.
What causes the steering of a car to fail and the steering wheel to spin?
Kinetic Energy helps the car wheel spin...
Why does corn on the cob spin in boiling water?
heat produces energy which causes the corn to spin in boiling water.
