Definitely not, as ATP synthase is a membrane-bound enzyme. It is integrated into the inner mitochondrial membrane (and the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts).

H ions move through channels of what in the inner membrane?

H plus ions move through channels of the ATP synthase in the inner membrane. It is a type of enzyme that allows protons to move through the mitochondrial membrane.


H ions move through channels of?

ATP Synthase


The synthesis of ATP by relying on a proton gradient?

Yes, only then can the protons in the intermembrane space move through the ATP synthase into the matrix by diffusion, and as they move through ATP synthase, the enzyme c an harness the available energy thus allowing the phosphorylation of ATP


Is ATP synthase a protein?

Yes, ATP synthase is a protein.


When ATP synthase in activated it adds a phosphate group to what molecule?

ATP synthase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to an ADP molecule. ADP + ATP synthase + P --> ATP + ATP synthase (ATP synthase on both sides of the equation indicates that, as an enzyme, it is not used up in the reaction.)


Is ATP synthase an integral protein?

Yes, ATP synthase is an integral protein.


Is ATP synthase an enzyme responsible for the production of ATP in cells?

Yes, ATP synthase is an enzyme that plays a key role in the production of ATP in cells.


Where are the catalytic knobs of ATP synthase located?

The catalytic knobs of ATP synthase would be located on the stromal side of the membrane. Protons travel through ATP synthase from the thylakoid space to the stroma.


What are enzymes that creates ATP called?

ATP Synthase


Which of the following is false about the structure and function of ATP synthase?

At least 10 protons pass through ATP synthase in order to make a molecule of ATP.


What do mitochondiral and thylakoid membranes have in common?

They both use ATP synthase proteins in ATP production


What is the difference between ATPase and ATP synthase?

ATPase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate, releasing energy in the process. ATP synthase is an enzyme that uses the energy released from a proton gradient to catalyze the formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. In essence, ATPase breaks down ATP, while ATP synthase synthesizes ATP.
