17. Overall the drop in reduction potential from NADH to water is equivalent to the energy needed to synthesize six or seven mol

ecules of ATP, yet only about 2.5 molecules of ATP are actually synthesized? How does this apparent thermodynamic inefficiency allow ATP synthesis to be achieved? What would happen if the system were 100% efficient?
Chemistry

Answer:

The ATP synthesis is achieved by the generation of proton motive force(PMF).

Explanation:

The proton motive force is generated by the transport of electrons from intermembrane space to matrix of mitocondria. The proton motive force is utilized by FO F1  ATPase to generate ATP from the phosphorylation of ADP and inorganic phosphate(Pi).

       If the system were 100% efficient then 64 molecules of of ATP can be generated from the complete oxidation of 1 molecule of glucose by aerobic respiration.

I will mark brainlist In what layer are convection currents found?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Convention currents are found in the asthenosphere part present in the mantle of the Earth.

Explanation:

The Mantle is the middle layer of the earth surface extending up to 2900 kilometers.

Beneath the Mantle lies the core which contains molten rocks and materials called magma.

The materials are highly radioactive and immensely heated. These highly hot condition creates pressure on the middle layer (Mantle).

As a result, large convention currents are generated excessively
