Adding DNP to mitochondria alters the electron transport chain in what way? (A) ATP continues to be produced but oxygen is no lo
nger consumed (B) ATP is no longer produced and neither is oxygen consumed (C) ATP is no longer produced but oxygen continues to be consumed (D) The proton gradient is unaffected (E) The electron transport chain interrupts the transfer of electrons
2,4-Dinitrophenol or DNP is a protonophore molecule which can leak the protons and leads to affect the production of ATP in the mitochondria.
DNP is the best agent known for uncoupling the oxidative phosphorylation as it uncouples the phosphorylation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from ATP synthase. It leads to the low production of the ATP during oxidative phosphorylation and most of the energy is converted to heat. It does not effect the electron transport chain, it continues.
The sun is the most basic source of energy for all living beings. It supports photosynthesis in plants and algae that is the main reaction for producing energy rich compounds like carbohydrates etc. These compounds are utilized by all life on Earth to stay alive.
Nephrotic syndrome (also called nephrosis) happens when your kidneys start losing large amounts of protein in your urine. As your kidneys get worse, extra fluids and salt build up in your body. This causes you to have swelling (edema), high blood pressure and higher levels of cholesterol.
