The correct Answer is:
To determine where ATPase activity occurs, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding ATPase**: ATPase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP, releasing energy that can be used for various cellular processes. 2. **Identifying the Context**: The question specifies "F1 particle," which is part of ATP synthase, an enzyme complex found in the mitochondria. 3. **Structure of ATP Synthase**: ATP synthase consists of two main parts: - The **F0** portion, which is embedded in the mitochondrial membrane. - The **F1** portion, which protrudes into the mitochondrial matrix and is responsible for ATP synthesis. 4. **Regions of the F1 Particle**: The F1 particle is divided into three regions: - **Head**: This is the part where ATP synthesis occurs. - **Stalk**: Connects the head to the base. - **Base**: Anchors the complex to the membrane. 5. **Locating ATPase Activity**: The ATPase activity specifically occurs in the **head** of the F1 particle. This is where ATP is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) during cellular respiration. 6. **Evaluating Options**: The options provided are: - Head of the F1 particle - Stalk of the F1 particle - Base of the F1 particle - All of the above Based on the information, the correct answer is **the head of the F1 particle**. ### Final Answer: **ATPase activity occurs in the head of the F1 particle.** ---
