The Mitochondria in many cells, are believed to have been bacteria that have been incorporated in the cytophysiology. Mitochondria first off, contain their own DNA, er, RNA. Additionally physiologically the mitochondrion, has an inner membrane and some organelle traits similar to prokaryotic cells. Lastly Mitochondria are the only organelle capable of replicating itself. <span />
For the answer to the question above asking <span>In aerobic respiration, what is the direct source of energy that ATP synthase uses to synthesize ATP?</span><span>I think this is Proton Gradient. It is t</span><span>he product of the electron transport chain. A higher concentration of </span>protons <span>outside the inner membrane of the mitochondria than inside the membrane is the driving force behind ATP synthesis.</span>
The study of the flow of energy and its transformations is called thermodynamics.
Hope this helped!
Only prokaryotes (the archaea<span> and the </span>bacteria<span>) reproduce asexually through binary fission. Eukaryotes (such as protists and unicellular fungi) reproduce by mitosis; most of these are also capable of sexual reproduction</span>
