drugs known as uncouplers facilitate diffusion of protons across the membrane through proteins other than atp synthase. with an uncoupler, what will happen to atp synthesis and oxygen consumption if the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle stay the same? select any correct answer.

Respuesta :

While ATP synthesis will decline, oxygen usage won't change.

What function do uncouplers play in the production of ATP?

Without influencing the respiratory chain or ATP synthase (H(+)-ATPase), uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria prevent the coupling between the electron transport and phosphorylation processes. This inhibits ATP generation.

What is the energy source that directly powers ATP synthase during ATP synthesis?

particle gradient ,  the inner mitochondrial membrane's electron transport chain receives electrons from NADH and FADH2, which causes an H+ accumulation in the inner membrane space. The direct energy source for ATP synthesis is this proton gradient (gradient of H+) flowing via the membrane enzyme complex ATP synthetase.
