Question

$ATP$ is synthesized in

• A. $F_0$ particles
• B. ion channels
• C. $F_1$ particles
• D. plasmalemma

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$F_1$ particles

Answer 2

$ATP$ molecules are synthesized with the help of energy liberated during oxidation of reduced coenzymes $(NADH, FADH_2)$ produced in respiration. This is called oxidative phosphorylation and it takes place in mitochondria. The enzyme $ATP$ synthase is required for this synthesis. $ATP$ synthase is located in $F_1$ or head piece of $F_0-F_1$ or elementary particles. The particles are present in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
