Chapter 7, Problem 10TYK

In the 1950s, a diet pill that had the effect of “poisoning” ATP synthase was tried. The person taking it could not use glucose and “lost weight”—and ultimately his or her life. Today, we know that the immediate effect of poisoning ATP synthase is:

a. ATP would not be made in the electron transfer system.

b. H+ movement across the inner mitochondrial membranewould increase.

c. more than 32 ATP could be produced from a molecule ofglucose.

d. ADP would be united with phosphate more readily in themitochondria.

e. ATP would react with oxygen.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following statements is TRUE of the electron transport chain (ETC)? A. The movement of electrons down the ETC drives the formation of a proton (H+) gradient. B. The movement of H+ ions through ATP synthase drives the transfer of electrons down the ETC. C. The movement of electrons down the ETC drives the movement of ADP and phosphate through ATP synthase. D. The movement of H+ ions across the inner membrane of the mitochondria drives the transfer of electrons down the ETC.
Which of the following statements concerning ATP synthesis is NOT true? a. The open conformation of the ATP synthase is for releasing ATP. b.   The gamma subunit in the stalk responds to the flow of H+ and rotates the assembly counterclockwise and thus change the conformations of the active site to synthesize ATP.   c.   The tight conformation of the ATP synthase is for converting ADP and phosphate to ATP.   d.   The loose conformation of the ATP synthase is for binding ADP and phosphate.   e. Ten protons are required to catalyze the rotation of the subunits so that one ATP is synthesized. Clear my choice
Which of the following statements concerning ATP synthesis in mitochondria is FALSE?                a. interruption of the flow of electrons from NADH to oxygen would decrease ATP synthesis   b. making the inner mitochondrial membrane permeable to H+ would decrease ATP synthesis   c. the energy liberated by the electron-transport chain is used to pump H+ ions into the IM-space   d. the movement of H+ through a special channel enzyme (synthase) results in ATP synthesis   e. when protons move from the matrix to the IM-space, ATP is made from ADP + Pi
