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.

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.
