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

alex41 [277]

Answer:

E-----> C------>D------->A------->B

Explanation:

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is the fluid of the central nervous system. It allows for buoyancy as the brain is immersed in the fluid, protection, excretion of waste products from the brain and many more. The production of CSF is by the CHORIOD PLEXUS  in the lateral, third and fourth ventricles. The CSF flows through the interventricular foramen from the lateral to the third ventricle and from the third ventricle into the fourth ventricle through the cerebral aqueduct which connects them. The CSF then flows into the subarachnoid space. Absorption of CSF into the blood is by the arachnoid villi and then the CSF enters the blood.
