Answer:

ATP synthase would be unable to produce ATP

Explanation:

ATP synthase depends on the proton gradient in the intermembrane space to enable it to produce ATP. As a consequence of this, the toxin will make it inactive. Oxidative phosphorylation is now inhibited in this case, as opposed to substrate-level phosphorylation.

Pyruvate is a product of glycolysis, and it will not be affected by a toxin. NADH is very important in the establishing of a proton gradient, so it is expected that it would be unable to be oxidized due to the toxin. Protons produced in the conversion of NADH to NAD+ actually establish the proton gradient. If the gradient is absent, NADH is then not likely to be oxidized.

If you flip a penny 99 times and each time it came up heads then the chance of the penny coming up heads is ___
Helga [31]
The chances of heads as a result when flipping a penny will always be 50%. Although heads came up 99 times in a row, the events that occurred before will not affect the probability of the current event in terms of a coin flip.

There are 1 out of 2 chances of it occurring or 1/2. Divide that and multiply it by 100% to get the probability in percent. So the answer will be 50%.

The answer is B.
