What enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of ATP using a proton gradient?
The ATP synthase, of course. Another rotary motor.
What powers ATP synthase directly?
ATP synthase uses mechanical energy as its energy source. ATP synthase is an enzyme in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells composed of two major parts, a rotating head, and a catalyzing end. As protons form one side of the inner membrane of the mitochondria diffuse across the bilayer through ATP sythase, it causes the rotating head to rotate and act like a motor, Converting Mechanical energy into chemical energy to bond a phosphate group to ADP and form ATP.
How can chemical energy change to kinetic energy?
Any number of ways. If you're looking for an example then connecting a battery to an electric motor would do. Chemical energy in the battery is changed to electrical energy in the circuit, which the motor then converts to kinetic energy.
Name a device that is designed to change electrical energy into kinetic energy?
A GeneratorAC and DC generators(also called dynamos). Whenever magnetic flux through a closed wire loop changes current flows in it. We use mechanical energy to produce change in flux and generate electricity.A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is called an Electric Generator. It works by inducing an electric current in a loop of wire by using magnetic fields.An electrical generator or Dynamo. The mechanical energy moves a magnetic field relative to electric coils and creates electricity. Little Dynamos on bicycles provide light at night.
What is the name of the point at which motor neuron synapses motor end plate?
cappilaries is the name of the point at which motor neuron synases motor end plate
What energy does a motor run on?
motor energy
What is the part of an electric circuit generating force?
switch, motor or rotor.
What is energy transformation in motor?
motor is of mechanical energy which is made of kinetic energy
What stops muscle stimulation when the motor neuron ceases firing?
Acetylcholinesterase is the enzyme that stops muscle stimulation when the motor neuron ceases firing. This enzyme enables acetyl and choline to release their binding sites.
What does a motor convert?
A motor convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.
How much energy does a motor convert to heat?
You can calculate the quantity of energy that a motor turns into heat with either one of these equations: Heat energy = ( 1 - efficiency of the motor) x (energy input to the motor) or Heat energy = ( 1 - efficiency of the motor) x (power input to the motor) x (running time)
What will happen if the field of dc motor motor is opened?
Assuming a shunt-fed motor, it means the rotor would stop generating a back-emf and it would also stop generating any torque. The current would rise until limited by the resistance of the rotor, but before that the circuit-breaker would operate.
What is a machine that turns mechanical energy into electrical energy?
Electric motor.
What is the important role of motor?
the motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
What does a motor do?
A motor in science means that is tranfers electrical energy in to movement energy
Does a motor work?
A motor does not provide energy. It converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. From a circuit standpoint, the motor is considered a load (similar to a resistor). Resistors convert electrical energy to heat energy.
Why the energy transfer from electrical energy to kinetic energy in a motor is not 100 percent?
There is energy loss in heating up the wires in the motor.
