Question

explain how electrons, h+, active transport and passive transport all are involved in assisting with the ability of atp synthase to work?

Answer 1

Protons are also special with respect to electron transport, whenever a molecule is reduced by acquiring an electron, the electron brings with a nagative charge In many cases, this charge is rapidly effect of the reduction is to transfer an entire hydrogen atom, H+ te - Similarly, when a molecule e is oxidized, a hydrogen atom removed from it can be readily dissociated in to its constituent electron and proton allowing the electron to be transferred separately to a molecule that accepts electrons, while the proton is passed to the water. Therefore in a mombrane in which electrons are being passed along an electron - transport chain, pumping protons from one side of the membrane to another can be relatively simple. The electron carrier merely needs to be arranged in the membrane in a way that I causes it to pick up a proton from one side of the membrone when it accepts an electron, and to release the proton on the other side of the membrane as the electron acred to the next carries molecule in the chain.
