ATP Synthase
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Main point of ATP Synthase | protons enter the synthase and ride around the wheel, which makes it spin |
| What type of energy is used to cause another form of energy? | electrical energy used from the proton pump (ETC) to cause mechanical energy |
| How does ATP Synthase synthesize ATP? | The physical turning of the wheel and the conformational changes |
| Where is the wheel in ATP Synthase? | the membrane (matrix side) |
| What is the F1 subunit? | an enzyme that makes ATP |
| What happens to the enzyme when the axle spins? | the structure of the enzyme changes , which then makes ATP, and converted to mechanical energy, |
| shape 1 (loose) | ADP and phosphate bind (shape change) |
| shape 2 (tight) | bound to ATP |
| shape 3 (open) | release ATP |
