Human
Introduction:
Metabolic process in human body includes both catabolic and anabolic process. It means the metabolic process involves both breaking down and buildup of substances. These processes are important for converting food into ATP. ATP is used by cell for carrying out all its functions.

In the 1930's a chemical known as DNP was touted as en effective diet
pill. Weight loss was dramatic in patients taking this drug. However, to
quote Efraim Racker (A New Look at Mechanisms in Bioenergetics,
Academic Press, 1976, p. 155), ..."the treatment eliminated not only the
fat but also the patients,... This discouraged physicians for awhile..." This
drug promotes weight loss by causing the leakage of H* across the inner
mitochondrial membrane.
Which of the following would you expect to see in patients taking
DNP?
[Select the best answer.]
decreased ability to produce ATP
increased ability to produce ATP
decreased ability to use the Citric Acid Cycle to produce ATP
slowing down the Citric Acid Cycle.
