Answer:

ATP synthase will hydrolyze ATP and pump protons into the intermembrane space.

Explanation:

Under normal conditions, the intermembrane space of mitochondria has higher proton ion concentration than the matrix. The inner mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to protons. The concentration gradient drives pass movement of protons through proton channels and the energy is used to drive the synthesis of ATP. The synthesized ATP molecules are released in the matrix.

If the matrix has higher ATP concentration and the proton concentration in intermembrane space is low, ATP synthase would use the energy of hydrolysis of ATP to pump protons from matrix towards intermembrane space. These conditions would not support ATP synthesis.

I think you're talking about histones. Histones are proteins found in eukayotic cell nuclei. Histones are what DNA wrap around so it fits inside the nucleus and helps with the formation of chromosomes.

What is the functional advantage of the alveolar walls being so thin?
Sati [7]
Alveolar walls are thin to enable the quick passage of oxygen in and out of the lungs. The lungs works hand-in-hand with the heart and also is responsible in converting blood that's de-oxygenated into an oxygenated blood that is usable by the organ systems of the body. The alveolar walls are also designed to have thin membranes so that it can expand and constrict quickly allowing us to breather properly.

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.
