Question

Which structure is responsible for the synthesis of atp?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mitochondria

Explanation:

This the organelle with   special adaptive features  for the process of chemiosmosis needed for ATPs synthesis in oxidative phosphorylation.

→Possession of transport channels in the outer membranes for ferrying of pyruvate from cystsol of the cytoplasm into the inner membrane

→Possession of  cytochrome proteins as carrier for transport of electrons as electron transport chain.

→Presence of  inner folding cristae membranes to increase surface area.

→Presence of impermeable intramembrane medium  to set up hydrogen ion electrochemical gradients, to supply energy for ATPase synthase.

→Presence of matrix   rich in enzymes, co enzymes  needed for Krebs Cycle to occur.

These structural adaptations to functions made Mitochondria the site of ATPs Synthesis by ATPase synthase,

Answer 2

The mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell).
