True or false? The region of ATP synthase that catalyzes the production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate spans the chloroplast membrane.
nan
False.
While ATP synthase is an enzyme complex responsible for the synthesis of ATP, it does not span the chloroplast membrane. Rather, ATP synthase is located within the thylakoid membrane (in chloroplasts) or the inner mitochondrial membrane (in mitochondria) where it synthesizes ATP using a proton gradient created by the electron transport chain. The ATP synthase enzyme spans the membrane and contains a catalytic F1 unit facing the stroma (in chloroplasts) or the mitochondrial matrix (in mitochondria) and a proton-translocating Fo unit embedded in the membrane.
