B) In the process of the citric cycle that occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, electrons from this chemical pathways move from one protein complex to another and are ultimately accepted by oxygen molecule in the formation a water molecule. Concomitantly, protons are transported to the intermembrane space. Accumulation of H+ ions in the mitochondrial membrane creates an electromotive force that is harnessed by ATP synthase to enable the phosphorylation of an ADP to ATP.


A)     A leaky membrane, therefore, would interfere with the accumulation of protons in the intermembrane space. This will reduce the electromotive force that is harness by the ATP synthase to produce ATP by phosphorylation of ADP. Consequently, this defective mitochondria will produce less ATPs than a healthy mitochondria.

This example reflects the food chain.
<span>The food chain describes relationships among the organisms by showing how the organisms are related to each other by the food they eat. The food chain contains levels and each of them presents a different trophic level (position of the organism in that chain). There is reliable energy transfer through each stage of the chain. Not all the energy at one stage is absorbed by the organism at the next stage but, the amount of energy from one stage to another decreases.</span>

Answer:

No more reactions occurs.

Explanation:

The activity of other metabolic pathways also change in response to the proton which enters mitochondria without passing through ATP synthase because ATP synthase is responsible for the production of ATP molecules from proton. If this ATP is not produced no further reactions occurs in the cell. This ATP is used by the cells in various activities so if the proton does not pass through ATP synthase then no energy in the form of ATP is present for other metabolic pathways of the cells.
