F. f-atp synthase is a remarkable molecule used within the mitochondria to make atp. which of the following statements is correct regarding this enzyme? the cring of the f, component varies in size for different organisms however, this variation does not impact the p/oratio. the a and b-subunits, starting at the conformation "l", will adopt the "o" conformation next, followed by the "t' conformation and then arrive back at 2" conformation as protons move from p to n-side. the proton gradient provides a driving force for rotation of the fo subunit. this ratchet motion is utilized to induce a conformation change in the f1 component allowing non covalent interactions with atp to be broken releasing atp into solution o atp synthesis (atp released into solution) does not require energy as long as atp synthase is used due to the fact that the enzyme makes the formation of the phosphoanhydride bond favorable. ob) and c)
