synthases do not use energy from NTP's, sythetases do!
synthase can be used with any enzyme that catalyzes synthesis (whether or not it uses nucleoside triphosphates), whereas synthetase is to be used synonymously with 'ligase'.

∙ 13y agoSynthase is a lyase (lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breaking of various chemical bonds by means other than hydrolysis and oxidation, often forming a new double bond or a new ring structure) and doesn't require any energy,
Whereas
Synthetase is a ligase (ligase is an enzyme which binds two chemicals or compounds) and thus requires energy.

What is the direct source of Energy ATP synthesis used to synthesize ATP?
Energy released from movement of protons through ATP synthase energy released from movement of protons through ATP synthase is the most direct source of energy in this case.
How is ATP synthase involved in making energy involved in the cell?
-I'm 98% sure ATP synthase binds ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP. But I could be wrong. Its a start!ATP synthase is involved in making energy available to the cell by synthesizing large proteins and converting ADP and inorganic phosphate into high-energy ATP.
When ATP synthase in activated it adds a phosphate group to what molecule?
ATP synthase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to an ADP molecule. ADP + ATP synthase + P --> ATP + ATP synthase (ATP synthase on both sides of the equation indicates that, as an enzyme, it is not used up in the reaction.)
What are enzymes that creates ATP called?
ATP Synthase
The ATP synthase in a human cell gets energy fro making ATP directly from where?
An electron chemical gradient - Ie, the Proton or H+ gradient. There is a concentration difference in H+ ions, and a charge difference between the two sides of the mitochondrial membrane that the ATP synthase is embedded in. Thuse you can consider the H+ ions "under pressure" (layman's term), and they provide the power for the ATP synthase to work, as they flow through it.
What is the difference between ATPase and ATP synthase?
They both are enzymes related to ATP. The difference lies in that ATPase breaks down ATP while ATP synthase synthesizes ATP.
What enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of ATP using a proton gradient?
The ATP synthase, of course. Another rotary motor.
What does the top partof ATP synthase do when hydrogen ions enter?
When a new hydrogen ion enters, the top part of the ATP synthase complex rotates.The hydrogen ions provide energy for the synthesis of ATP molecules.ÊÊ
What must be present when electron transfer and ATP synthesis occur?
all of the electron transport proteins as well as ATP synthase

The synthesis of ATP by relying on a proton gradient?
Yes, only then can the protons in the intermembrane space move through the ATP synthase into the matrix by diffusion, and as they move through ATP synthase, the enzyme c an harness the available energy thus allowing the phosphorylation of ATP
What enzyme is responsible for synthesizing ATP?
The enzyme is ATP synthase (sometimes referred to as "ATP synthetase").It catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from ADP and free inorganic phosphate. It is a remarkable enzyme, part of which spins round. In fact, ATP synthase has been called a molecular machine.To see an image, use the link below.
When ATP synthase in activated it adds a phosphate group to what molecule?
ATP synthase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to an ADP molecule. ADP + ATP synthase + P --> ATP + ATP synthase (ATP synthase on both sides of the equation indicates that, as an enzyme, it is not used up in the reaction.)
What spins to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP?
The rotor part of the ATP synthase enzyme.
Which protein complex allows hydrogen ions to rush out of the thylacoid providing energy that can be used to make a molecule?
ATP synthase allows H+ ions to pass through the thylakoid membrane.
What causes the difference between he therotical and actual yields of ATP in aerobic repiration?
ATP is spent transporting pyruvate and ADP into the mitochondrial matrix. Protons leak across the inner mitochondrial membrane without using ATP synthase.
