Adding one P to ADP (which has only 2 phosphates) takes energy which is stored in the last bond. You get this energy by eating food. ADP + P ----> 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 molecule is used by the enzymes ATP synthase to form ATP.?

ADP


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 ATP synthesis and ATP synthase?

synthases do not use energy from NTP's, sythetases do! synthase can be used with any enzyme that catalyzes synthesis (whether or not it uses nucleoside triphosphates), whereas synthetase is to be used synonymously with 'ligase'.


What is used in the process of cellular respiration?

The two main enzymes that help catalyze Cellular Respiration are: Dehydrogenase - An enzyme that catalyzes a chemical reaction during which one or more hydrogens atoms are removed from a molecule NAD+ - Nicotinamide Adenie Dinucleotide - Coenzyme that can accept electrons during the redox reactions of cellular metabolism


ATP is an enzyme?

no, ATP stands for Adenosine TriPhosphate. Not an enzyme.


During replication what enzyme is used to split the DNA molecule in half?

helicase


Do chloroplast synthesize ATP?

Chloroplasts produce glucose by photosynthesis. glucose is used to generate ATP


What is the basic mechanism by which ATP synthase generates ATP in the mitochondria?

The proton gradient set up by the electron transport chain causes mechanical rotation of ATP synthase, and this energy is used to form ATP


What is ATP Synthase?

ATP synthase (also known as FoF1-ATP synthase) is a multisubunit integral membrane protein that produce ATP from ADP and Pi using the energy of transmembrane electrochemical potential difference of proton (or sodium ion in some cases). The enzyme is found in bacterial plasma membrane, in thylakoid membrane (chloroplast ATP synthase) and in inner mitochondrial membrane. The main function of the enzyme is ATP production. However, in some cases (especially in bacteria) the enzyme works in the reverse direction, acting as an ATP-driven proton pump that generates the transmembrane electrochemical potential difference of proton. is it the right energy used in a body of matter from movemwent of molecules?


What is the enzyme that restore adp back to ATP?

The enzyme that converts adenosine diphosphate back into adenosine triphosphate is called 'ATP synthase'.
