Question 6

Matching

Indicate whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE.If a statement is false, explain why it is false.

Premises:

Responses:

Under anaerobic conditions, the ATP synthase can hydrolyze ATP instead of synthesizing it.

True

ATP is moved out of the matrix, across the inner mitochondrial membrane, in a co-transporter that also brings ADP into the matrix.

False

Brown fat cells make less ATP because they have an inefficient ATP synthase.

The driving force that pulls protons into the matrix is called the proton-motive force, which is a combination of the large force due to the pH gradient and the smaller force that results from the voltage gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
