Question

ATP synthase molecules in mitochondria form dimers that are localized mostly to sharp cristae ridges. What should happen if subunits of the synthase that are required for dimerization are mutated in yeast?

Answer 1

The insufficient ATP synthase phosphorylating capacity with respect to the respiratory chain results in an impaired energy provision and an increased ROS production due to an elevated mitochondrial membrane potential (1,16).

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: To increase the capacity of the mitochondrion to synthesize ATP, the inner membrane is folded to form cristae. These folds allow a much greater amount of electron transport chain enzymes and ATP synthase to be packed into the mitochondrion.
