Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Structure and Function:The F1 portion of Human ATP Synthase is built by the proteins coded for by ____ different genes.
A
Five
B
Eight
C
Four
D
Two
E
Three
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The F1 portion of ATP synthase is hydrophilic and responsible for hydrolyzing ATP. The F1 unit protrudes into the mitochondrial matrix space. Subunits and make a hexamer with 6 binding sites. Three of them are catalytically inactive and they bind ADP.

Detailed explanation-2: -ATP synthase consists of two well defined protein entities: the F1 sector, a soluble portion situated in the mitochondrial matrix, and the Fo sector, bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane. F1 is composed of three copies of each of subunits and , and one each of subunits ,
