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.

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).


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.


Why do spinner dolphins spin in the ocean?

Spinner dolphins spin in the ocean as a form of communication, social bonding, and play.


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.

Spin causes electrons to?

Spin causes electrons to have an intrinsic magnetic moment, leading to the phenomenon of electron spin. This property allows electrons to interact with magnetic fields and is crucial for understanding the behavior of atoms and molecules in chemistry and physics.
