Chapter 23, Problem 23.45E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The function of the protein ${\text{F}}_{\text{1}}\text{-ATPase}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In electron transport chain, the hydrogen ions and the electrons carried by NADH and ${\text{FADH}}_{\text{2}}$ combine with oxygen to give water. This is a multistep process which involves several enzymes. It occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria. The combined citric acid cycle, electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation are known as the catabolic pathway.
