Answer: One H⁺ ion ie required in converting ATP and inorganic phosphate to ATP

Explanation:During oxidative phosphorylation, high energy electrons released by hydrogen carriers are shuttled through the electron transport chain. The released energy is used to translocate 3 H+ ions from the matrix, creating an proton motive force, which will cause 1 H+ ion to move down the electrochemical gradient and diffuse back into the matrix (chemiosmosis) which is facilitated by ATP synthase. As the H+ moves through the ATP synthase this triggers the molecular rotation of the enzyme, synthesizing ATP

Greenhouse gases are essential to support life on earth.<br> True or false?
just olya [345]
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases that are also produced as a result of human consumption, such as the burning of fossil fuels. They are essential to life in that a gas such as carbon dioxide (Co2) is essential to photosynthesis and the production of oxygen which helps to sustain life. However, the levels of greenhouse gases are far outreaching their natural limits and are having a negative impact on human and animal life.
