Question
Please help with part C
During the Electron Transport and Oxidative Phosphorylation.
The mitochondrial matrix is at 37C and the pH is measured to be 7.9 and the
inner membrane space (IMS) pH measured to be 7.3.
R= 8.314 J/K mol Z= charge on ion A, F=96.5 kJ/(mole-V), and AY = membrane
%3D
potential in volts
AG
= RT In [H*]Matrix/[H*] iMs + ZF AY
a) Calculate the free energy contribution of this
[H+] difference to ATP synthesis using a
membrane that has a potential of -20mv. Include
as much of the calculations as possible.
b) Does your answer to part a) show that this
proton concentration gradient provide enough
energy for ATP synthesis?. Explain your reasoning
using 2-3 sentences.
c) What other forces/processes contribute to the
energy needed to preform ATP synthesis? Explain
your reasoning using a minimum of 4 sentences
and be as detailed as possible.
