Answer:
The levels of inputs and outputs will be negatively affected
Please find the detailed explanation below
Explanation:
The electron transport chain consists of a series of molecules that transfers electrons to one another in a group called COMPLEXES. The major aim of the ETC is to build a proton gradient needed for the synthesis of ATP. The first step in the ETC is as follows:
The process of ETC starts when two electron carriers/donors viz: NADH and FADH2 transfers their electrons to COMPLEX I. If this does not occur, the ETC cannot function. Hence, in a case where cells were treated with a chemical that inhibits the first step of the electron transport chain, the input and output (ATP) will be greatly affected in the sense that other inputs will not be used or the output will not be produced.
Assume that the average protein in E.coli consists of a chain of 400 amino acids. Now, a single amino acid present in the protein requires a codon to code for it. A codon consists of 3 nucleotides. This shows that a protein of length 400 amino acids will require, 400 codons to code for it, that is, 1200 (3 x 400) nucleotides are required. We know that the length of the E.coli genome on average is 5 x 
base pairs.
1200 nucleotides = 1 protein
5 x nucleotides = X no. of proteins
X = 
= 4167
The answer is 4167 proteins.
