What is the energy source used to drive atp synthase to produce atp?
Added by Glenn M.
Step 1
The energy source used to drive ATP synthase is the proton gradient (also known as the proton-motive force) across the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes or the plasma membrane in prokaryotes. This proton gradient is generated by the electron transport Show more…
