Why Is ATP A Coupled Reaction? ATP is the major ‘energy’ molecule produced by metabolism, and it serves as a sort of ‘energy source’ in cell: ATP is dispatched to wherever a non-spontaneous reaction needs to occurs so that the two reactions are coupled so that the overall reaction is thermodynamically favored. What is a

What Is The Role Of ATP Synthase In ATP Synthesis?

What Is The Role Of ATP Synthase In ATP Synthesis? The function of ATP synthase is to synthesize ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the F1 sector. This is possible due to energy derived from a gradient of protons which cross the inner mitochondrial membrane from the intermembrane space into the matrix through
