what is the location of atp synthase in cellular respiration
First, ATP synthase is an enzyme located in the mitochondria of eukaryotic (animal) cells and the chloroplasts of plant cells. The energy currency that ATP synthase creates is called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). There are two components to ATP synthase, F1 and F0. F1 is composed of five subunits named after Greek letters: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon.
