Best Answer: ATP synthase makes ATP. found in the inner mitochondrial membrane, it uses the energy of the proton electrochemical gradient produced by the electron transport chain to make atp from adp and inorganic phosphate. the enzyme itself has a passage for protons, and a head which turns. The head has 3 idential components. passing 10 protons through will turn the head once. ADP and phosphate can bind to one of the 3 components and the turning will cause the component to essentially sequeeze the ADP and phosphate together to make ATP.

Answer:

an adaptation can be defined as an inherited trait which confers an evolutionary advantage to the organism in a certain environment

Explanation:

An adaptation, also known as an evolutionary adaptation, can be defined as any physiological and/or morphological inherited trait related to the improved evolutionary fitness of one organism in a particular environment. An adaptation improves the chances of survival and reproduction in a certain environment, thereby organisms carrying the adaptation have more chances to produce descendants and pass their genes to the next generation. Some classical examples of evolutionary adaptations include the long necks of giraffes that help them to eat leaves at the top of trees, light bones of flying birds, etc.
