Chapter 10.4 Flashcards
1
Q
What is the F0 portion of the ATP synthase
A
-it is the ion channel
- the F0 portion is used in describing chemiosmotic coupling
- > there is a direct relationship between the proton gradient and ATP synthesis
2
Q
What is the F1 portion of ATP synthase
A
- the turbine portion
- > basically, ATP is released in ATP synthase due to conformational changed caused by the hydrogen ion gradient
- the F1 portion is used in describing conformational coupling
- > this suggests the relationship between the proton gradient and ATP synthesis is indirect
3
Q
What is respiratory control
A
-the coordinated regulation of the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation
