Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATP synthase is a complex enzyme that plays a critical role in cellular energy production. It is indeed composed of various protein subunits and has moving parts, which work together to synthesize ATP (adenosine triphosphate) from ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate, using a proton gradient across a membrane.
