The ATPase Synthase Complex Q12.1: Why are 4 H needed for every ATP synthesized and exported by mitochondria, even though only 3

H need to be translocated by the ATP Synthase Complex to synthesize one ATP

Answer:

1 H is consumed in exchanging the synthesized ATP in mitochondria with ADP in cytosol by adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT).

Explanation:

The electrons from NADH and FADH2 are transported in electron transport chain through various complexes that act as electron transporter, to oxygen. In this process, the pumping of protons from mitochondrial matrix to intermembrane space causes a concentration gradient and hydrogen ions diffuses out of matrix space through ATP synthase causing the production of ATP.

          3 H are enough to pass through ATP synthase for the phosphorylation of ADP to produce ATP. 1 H or 25% of energy yielded from electron transfer is required to exchange the matrix ATP with the ADP in intermembrane space by adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT). This process provides continuous supply of ADP to mitochodaria and ATP which is exported to cytosol is utilized by cell to perform various functions. There will be no ATP production in mitochondria without ADP. So 4 H are required for 1 ATP production.

1 H for importing ADP to mtichodaria + 3 H for phosphorylation of ADP to ATP

Which if these is an example of behavioral isolation
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

“Two species of crickets, Gryllus rubens and Gryllus texensis, have different courtship songs which can be identified only by the opposite sex of their own species” is an example of behavioral isolation.

 

Behavioral isolation is an important evolutionary mechanism that helps members of the same species identify each other as proper mates.

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the third choice or letter C. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Which organisms utilize a one-way airflow through their lungs to maximize air flow efficiency and oxygen consumption?
tatyana61 [14]
You're correct because when birds hit their max altitude it's harder to breathe and to minimize the time of there flight they store immense amounts of oxygen in their lungs.
