F1Fo ATP Synthase of mitochondria, chloroplasts, and bacteria is represented schematically at right. When the electrochemical H + gradient is favorable, F 1 F o catalyzes ATP synthesis coupled to spontaneous H+ flux toward the side of the membrane where F 1 protrudes. E.g., in mitochondria, the pH and electrical gradients drive H + transport from the intermembrane space to the matrix compartment.
It might not seem like much, but given its weight, the Slingshot is quite fast. No performance numbers are given, but expect a 0-to-60 mph sprint of less than five seconds and a top speed of around 130 mph.The power heads to the wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. Just what the doctor ordered.he Slingshot features a design similar to the X-Bow, complete with a side-by-side seating arrangement, but it brings in the three-wheel layout of the Can-Am and Morgan. Propulsion comes from a 2.4-liter, Ecotec four-cylinder sourced from General Motors that sends 173 ponies to the pavement.
The company recalled the first 1,800 vehicles in January to replace faulty ball bearings in the steering rack. Legally, the Slingshot is deemed a motorcycle (operators need a motorcycle license). But for anyone behind the wheel, itâs clear that it is much, much more. How It Works. A 2.4-liter General Motors Ecotec engine delivers 174 horsepower, a tremendous amount for a vehicle that weighs just 1,700 pounds.
