Consider a gene in the mitochondrial genome that codes for a channel protein in the inner membrane that allows magnesium ions to travel freely across. If a mutation in that gene resulted in this protein allowing H+ to pass through it rather than magnesium, what would be the consequence for cellular respiration?
