Question

Would an ATP synthase taken from a bacterial cell work in a eukaryotic cell? Why?

Answer 1

Yes

Enzyme ATP synthase from a bacterial cell may work in a Eukaryotic cell because this enzyme is performing same function in both the types of cells. Also the structure of the enzyme is similar to each other in both the cells. Also this enzyme is an integral membrane protein in both the cells, it is present in the plasma membrane of bacteria and inner mitochondrial membrane of eukaryotes.

Because of these similarities in the ATP synthase of bacterial cell and Eukaryotic cell, ATP synthase from bacterial cell may work in a Eukaryotic cell.

Please rate high.
