ATP can only be synthesized when the subunit it occupies (in ATP synthase) is in the ___ state.

Biology
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]2 years ago

Answer:

The T state.

Explanation:

The synthesis of ATP in the organisms is mediated by the ATP synthase. ATP Synthase enzyme contains the two subunits called CF₀ and  CF₁.  

The mechanism of ATP synthesis is known as the binding chain mechanism or flip flop mechanism as the synthesis of ATP is coupled with conformation changes of CF₁ units.

When the electrons move through CF₀, it rotates the γ-subunit of the CF₁ which further rotates the nucleotide-binding sites of β-subunit. The binding sites contain three conformational states which interconvert which are O empty state, L or loose state which binds ATP and Pi and T tight state which binds ATP. The T state of the ATP molecule binds the ADP and Pi to ATP.

Thus, the T state is the correct answer.

Why are red blood cells unable to replace damaged proteins
Rainbow [258]

The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as the nucleus, ribosomes, and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly, and repair. In other words, they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able to satisfy the central dogma which summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm,  then translating or decoding this information, which results in the making of protein.
