What is the formation of ATP by movement of H plus across a membrane through ATP synthase?
ATP formation occurs through a process called oxidative phosphorylation, where protons (H⁺ ions) move across a membrane via ATP synthase, an enzyme located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This movement creates a proton gradient, with a higher concentration of H⁺ ions outside the mitochondrial matrix. As protons flow back into the matrix through ATP synthase, the energy released drives the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP. This mechanism is a crucial part of cellular respiration, linking the electron transport chain to ATP production.
Why is it important that a membrane separate the cellular regions on either side of an ATP synthase molecule in order for the protein to perform its function?
A membrane separation is crucial for ATP synthase to establish a proton gradient across the membrane. This gradient serves as the driving force for ATP synthesis as protons flow through the ATP synthase from high to low concentration. Without this separation, the necessary proton gradient cannot be generated.
Is it true that the region of atp synthase that catalyzes the production of atp from ADP and inorganic phosphate spans the chloroplast membrane?
No, the region of ATP synthase that catalyzes the production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate spans the inner mitochondrial membrane, not the chloroplast membrane. In chloroplasts, ATP synthase is located in the thylakoid membrane and is responsible for generating ATP during photosynthesis.
What will most likely happen if the hydrogen pump protein in photosystem is not taking enough h plus ions into the thylakoids?
there will be a decrease in the formation of NADPH A decrease in the formation of ATP
What membrane do protons cross in the synthesis of ATP?
Protons cross the inner mitochondrial membrane during ATP synthesis in a process known as oxidative phosphorylation. This movement of protons creates a gradient that is used to drive the production of ATP by ATP synthase.
What is the relationship between chemiosmosis and ATP formation?
chemiosmosis is one of the processes that produces ATP. this happens in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
What consume ATP when transferring solutes form one side to the other side of the plasma membrane?
pump
What consumes ATP when transferring solutes form one side to the other side of the plasma membrane?
Pumps
The cyclic pathway of ATP formation functions mainly to?
The cyclic pathway of ATP formation primarily functions to transfer electrons between electron carriers in order to generate a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This proton gradient is used by ATP synthase to produce ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
How many H ions are transported through the membrane during the formation of one ATP molecule?
One hydrogen ion is needed to pass through the ATP synthase in order for one ATP molecule to be created.
What will most likely happen if the hydrogen pump protein in photosystem II is not taking enough H plus ions into the thylakoid?
ATP formation will decrease.(APEX)
When the proteins of the pump are first synthesized in the rough ER what side of the ER membrane will the ATP binding side be on?
It is on the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum
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.
What does ATP synthase use to add phosphate to ADP?
ATP synthase uses the proton gradient created by the electron transport chain to drive the formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. This process occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotic cells and the plasma membrane in prokaryotic cells.
Why is formation of ionic compounds exothermic?
It is exothermic because heat is released. ATP is on the products side. =] =) =I =p
