Question

Fill in the blanks with the appropriate words.
$F_1$-$F_0$ particles participate in the synthesis of ..........

Answer 1

• $F_1$-$F_0$ particles participate in the synthesis of ATP (Adenine Dinucleotide Diphosphate).
• This complex V which is a part of oxidative phosphorylation is present on the inner membrane of mitochondria where the head piece is the $F_1$ and the $F_0$ is integrated in the membrane.
• The elctron in the electron transport chain pass through this complex and are used in the synthesis of energy via production of ATP in presence of enzyme ATP synthase.
• As one electron passes from the inner mitochondrial membrane to the out side of it (that is between the inner and the outer mitochondrial membrane) through the $F_1$-$F_0$ it provides the energy for synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic P.
• Therefore the answer in the blank is to be ATP.
