(a)
To explain: The number of protons required to synthesize one ATP by F1-F0ATPase containing 10 c subunits.
Concept introduction: The F1-F0 ATP synthases are involved in the production of ATP using the protons released into the inter membrane space by the complexes of electron transport chain. The c subunits rotate and cause conformational changes for the production of ATP.
(b)
To explain: The number of protons required to synthesize one ATP by F1-F0ATPase containing 15 c subunits.
Concept introduction: The F1-F0 ATP synthases are involved in the production of ATP using the protons released into the inter membrane space by the complexes of electron transport chain. The c subunits rotate and cause conformational changes for the production of ATP.
