Each time a new ATP is created, ATP synthase must process 5 protons.

<h3>Where is ATP synthase found and what does it do?</h3>
  • ADP and phosphate are converted into ATP by the mitochondrial enzyme ATP synthase, which is located in the inner membrane.
  • Protons are transported over a gradient created by electron transfer from the chemically positive to the negative side of the proton, which drives the flux of protons.
<h3>How does photosynthesis's ATP synthase function?</h3>
  • The light-driven production of ATP is catalyzed by the chloroplast ATP synthase, which is activated in the light and deactivated in the dark by redox-modulation via the thioredoxin system.
  • This down-regulation is thought to be crucial for minimizing wasted ATP hydrolysis at night.
<h3>What makes ATP synthase so crucial?</h3>

All cellular functions are powered by ATP, which is constantly used by cells and required for production. About 100 ATP molecules can be produced by each ATP synthase every second.

the diagram below represents levels of glucose and insulin found within the bloodstream of a healthy person
Makovka662 [10]
The increase in insulin level following an increase in glucose level in the blood can best be explained by A FEED BACK MECHANISM THAT REGULATE THE BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL.
Insulin is an hormone that is secreted by the pancreas and it functions by regulating the amount of glucose that is found in the blood. When the level of glucose in the blood is higher than normal, insulin interfere by converting the excess glucose into glycogen. The glycogen is stored in the liver and in the skeletal muscles and they will only be converted back into glucose, if the level of glucose in the blood is lower than normal.
