Short answer questions (use your own words) Which of the following would you predict would occur in the mitochondria of a person with a disorder that prevents H+ ions from passing thought ATP synthase as quickly as in an unaffected person? a) the outer compartment would be more acidic than usual b) the amount of ATP produced by the cell would diminish e) the amount of ATP produced by the cell would be higher than normal Circle or highlight the correct/best answer and justity your choice below Is the following statement true or false? "The process of glucose breakdown during cellular respiration has both endergonic and exergonic elements". Support your answer with evidence.

Explanation / Answer

The amount of ATP generated would diminish in the person suffering from the disorder.

The movement of hydrogen ions across the membrane leads to the production of ATP molecules. The hydrogen ions move from region of high concentration to region of low concentration and create a gradient.

ATP synthase is the enzyme which uses free energy from this diffusion to eventually produce ATP molecules by chemiosmosis.

The pumping of the protons through electron transport chain through the ATP synthase enzyme enables the conversion of ADP to ATP.
