ATP Synthase
The membrane ATPase is a type of enzyme that uses energy from ATP to transport ions across a cell membrane. This transport process is essential for maintaining proper ion gradients, which are crucial for various cellular functions such as muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and nutrient uptake.
A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a transmembrane protein. Transmembrane proteins span the lipid bilayer, allowing them to create channels for ions to pass through the membrane. Peripheral proteins are typically found on the surface of the membrane and do not form channels.
Mitochondria produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a process called cellular respiration. This involves the breakdown of sugars and fats in the presence of oxygen to generate ATP. The main steps of this process occur in the inner membrane of the mitochondria through a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
ATP synthase enzyme spins in the inner membrane of mitochondria to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP, converting it to ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. The spinning is driven by the flow of protons through the enzyme complex.
The enzyme is ATP synthase (sometimes referred to as "ATP synthetase").It catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from ADP and free inorganic phosphate. It is a remarkable enzyme, part of which spins round. In fact, ATP synthase has been called a molecular machine.To see an image, use the link below.

glucokinase
enzyme responsible in the insulin signaling pathway. phosphorylates substrates like IR.
The mitochondria is not an enzyme. It is a powerhouse for the cell.
The process by which ADP is phosphorylated to form ATP is known as oxidative phosphorylation. This occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves the electron transport chain and ATP synthase enzyme.
It specifically phosphorylates glucose, rather than other sugars.

The mitochondrial membrane has special transporter proteins which are needed to transport pyruvate. This transport also requires ATP.
The membrane ATPase is a type of enzyme that uses energy from ATP to transport ions across a cell membrane. This transport process is essential for maintaining proper ion gradients, which are crucial for various cellular functions such as muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and nutrient uptake.
The four main types of proteins found in a cell membrane are integral proteins, peripheral proteins, glycoproteins, and channel proteins. Integral proteins are embedded within the lipid bilayer, while peripheral proteins are attached to the surface of the membrane. Glycoproteins have carbohydrate chains attached to them, and channel proteins help facilitate the movement of specific substances across the membrane.
In the electron transport chain, NADH-Q reductase, succinate, ubiquinone, cyochrome c reductase, and cytochrome c oxidase are proteins embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Also embedded is ATP synthase, an enzyme--a specialized protein.
The enzyme that converts galactose into glucose 1-phosphate is galactokinase. This enzyme phosphorylates galactose to form galactose 1-phosphate, which can then be converted into glucose 1-phosphate through further metabolic pathways.
