Can ATP synthase move about in the cytosol of the mitochondrian?
Lizzysonsflower
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.
What spins to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP?
The rotor part of the ATP synthase enzyme.
Where in the process of cellular respiration does ATP synthase make ATP?
ATP synthase is involved in making ATP + P at the membrane in the mitochondria. This occurs at the beginning of the Krebs cycle.
What would happen if the concentration of H ions were higher inside the mitochondrion than outside the mitochondrian when the channel opened?
H+ ions would not flow.
How does ATP snythase produce ATP?
ATP synthase is an enzyme that speeds up the production of ADP to ATP. It doesn't need anything. It is just doing what is it is meant to do.
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
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.)
What spins to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP?
The rotor part of the ATP synthase enzyme.
Which protein complex allows hydrogen ions to rush out of the thylacoid providing energy that can be used to make a molecule?
ATP synthase allows H+ ions to pass through the thylakoid membrane.
What is the difference between ATPase and ATP synthase?
They both are enzymes related to ATP. The difference lies in that ATPase breaks down ATP while ATP synthase synthesizes ATP.
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.
Where in the process of cellular respiration does ATP synthase make ATP?
ATP synthase is involved in making ATP + P at the membrane in the mitochondria. This occurs at the beginning of the Krebs cycle.
The ATP synthase in a human cell gets energy fro making ATP directly from where?
An electron chemical gradient - Ie, the Proton or H+ gradient. There is a concentration difference in H+ ions, and a charge difference between the two sides of the mitochondrial membrane that the ATP synthase is embedded in. Thuse you can consider the H+ ions "under pressure" (layman's term), and they provide the power for the ATP synthase to work, as they flow through it.
Which of these phosphorylates ADP to make ATP?
ATP synthase
What are enzymes that creates ATP called?
ATP Synthase
