A mutation in human ATPase 6 from leucine to
arginine at position 156 may allow the movements of protons across the
membrane, but not rotating of the ring of c subunits.
This possible mechanism affect the function of
ATP synthase because there would be an uncoupling of proton translocation and ATP
synthesis. ATP synthase would remain sensitive to F0 proton conduction
inhibitors
<u>Answer</u>: C) Hydrophobic interior, hydrophilic exterior
<u>Explanation</u>:
- The <em>plasma membrane</em> of the cell defines its boundary and separates its internal components from the external environment.
- The basic components of the plasma membrane include phospholipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and cholesterol.
- The plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer, with <em>hydrophobic</em> tails of the phospholipid projecting <em>inwards</em> and the <em>hydrophilic</em> exterior in contact with the external environment.
- <em>Due to this, the plasma membrane has a hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic exterior. </em>
