Explanation:

ATP synthase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy - currency of the cell. It uses the proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane (or in some cases, the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts) to drive the synthesis of ATP. The reaction it catalyzes is the formation of ATP from ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate ($P_i$).

Answer:

ADP + $P_i$ --> ATP
