How does a cell maintain a specific PMF in a basic environment?
Solution
The proton motive force is the energy generated from transferring protons electrons across and energy transducing cell membrane the energy is then used to perform chemical osmotic of mechanical work the proton motive force exist in eukaryotes and prokaryotes in eukaryotes it is located across the mineral membrane and is generated by energy from the citric acid cycle the proton motive force is used to make a tipi from ATP synthase in plants the proton motive force is located in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast is generated by the light reactions during photosynthesis it is used in the fixation of carbondioxide.
It was found that there was the effect of external pH on the proton motive force the sum of the pH gradient and the potential difference across the bacterial membranes while investigating the EMF in helicobacter pylori in bury in medium period it resulted in different gastric colonization the bacteria survived over the range of PH out where it maintains a Proton motive force the effect of Furious activity on pH out while alone gastric survival in acidic medium a limit survival in non acidic media.
