Why is formation of atp by atp synthase in the mitochondria known as oxidative phosphorylation?

Biology
1 answer:
Softa [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Because the redox reactions create proton gradient which is responsible for the production of ATP

Explanation:

During the process of aerobic respiration, the electron transport occurs in mitochondria through a sequence which is known as electron transport chain. When electrons are transferred from one complex to the other complex present in the inner membrane of mitochondria, the redox reactions occur and as a result of these redox reactions the proton gradient is created across the inner membrane of mitochondria. This proton gradient is further used to drive the synthesis of ATP with the help of ATP synthase. As the redox reactions create proton gradient which is responsible for the production of ATP, the process is named as the oxidative phosphorylation.

Is the EARTH flat or round? really deep question don't make fun of it cuz there are too many contradiction
suter [353]

Answer:

Round

Explanation:

The Earth is round ,even though there are many contradictions. The Earth spins on an axis, which is why there are different time zones all around the world. If the world was flat, then an Earth's core wouldn't exist and also the laws of gravity would not make since due to the Earth being considered flat. People would never know if they met the end of the Earth, or if they walked off the face of the Earth. Also note that if the Earth was flat then our Solar System would have to be flat since it involves the planets to revolve around the Sun.

​In garden peas, tall (T) vine is dominant over short (t) vine, and round pea pod (R) is dominant over wrinkled pea pod (r). Cro
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Traits

T (tall, dominant) and t (short)

R (round, dominant) and r (wrinkle)

Crossing parents

<u>hetero-zygous. tall wrinkled (</u><u>Ttrr</u><u>)</u>

phenotype tall is given hetero-zygous., so Tt

phenotype wrinkled is recessive, so must be homo-zygous rr

<u>Foiled genotypes</u> (Tr, tr, each with 50%)

<u>short hetero-zygous. round (</u><u>ttRr</u><u>)</u>

phenotype short is recessive, so homo-zygous rr

phenotype round is given heteroz. so Rr

<u>Foiled genotypes</u> (tR, tr, each with 50%)
