This family of ATPases is structurally related to the pumps that acidify lysosomes and vesicles; however, they usually function in reverse, generating ATP from ADP and Pi using proton gradients across membranes is called F-type pumps.
- The inner membrane of mitochondria and bacterial plasma membranes both contain F type pumps, which are necessary for the generation of ATP.
- It is also known as the ATP synthase complex or Complex V. By letting these protons passively return to the matrix, they use the proton gradient created by the flow of electrons to produce ATP.
- The F1 motor is the ATP turnover motor and,
- In mammals, the F0 motor, which is in charge of ion translocation, has nine subunits, nine of which are likely centered on the membrane's A, B, and C subunits, along with D, E, F2, F6, G2, and 8 subunits.

The birth control patch prevents pregnancy by stopping sperm from meeting an egg (which is called fertilization). Like most birth control pills, the patch contains the hormones estrogen and progestin, which are similar to hormones our bodies make naturally. You wear the patch on certain parts of your body, and the hormones are absorbed through your skin.
The patch stops your ovaries from releasing eggs (called ovulation). No ovulation means there’s no egg hanging around for sperm to fertilize, so pregnancy can’t happen.
The patch’s hormones also thicken the mucus on your cervix. Thicker cervical mucus makes it hard for sperm to swim to an egg — kind of like a sticky security guard.
