The chemical, dinitrophenol, makes a pore (or hole) in the inner mitochondrial
membrane that lets protons easily move across this membrane. What would happen
when you treat a mitochondrion in an animal cell with this chemical?
A) Glycolysis would stop, as pyruvate is transformed into lactate or ethanol.
B) The electron transport chain would cease to function, as NADH accumulates.
C) All ATP synthesis in the cell would immediately stop.
D) The mitochondrial electron transport chain would be unable to accept electrons from
NADH.
E) None of the above would occur. - Answer ✔✔- E
