Final answer:
ATP synthase should be anchored to the low-potential side of the membrane to facilitate ATP synthesis and is therefore not required to be on the high-potential side as stated in option C, making it the incorrect requirement for artificial ATP synthesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked which of the listed items is NOT a basic requirement for creating an artificial ATP synthesis cell for enzymatic processes. Option C, which states 'ATP synthase anchored to the high-potential side of the membrane', is not a basic requirement, as ATP synthase should actually be anchored to the low-potential side of the membrane where ADP and phosphate are present to facilitate the synthesis of ATP.
ATP synthesis as part of the chemiosmotic process requires a phospholipid bilayer membrane, a difference in H+ chemical potential across the membrane, a concentration of ADP on the low-potential side, and the stability of the lipid bilayer. These components create the conditions needed for ATP synthase to harness the potential energy of the H+ gradient to convert ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP in a process known as oxidative phosphorylation.
