Question
in the presence of oxygen and in the absence of adp, what occurs if the uncouple 2,4-dinitrophenol is added to a suspension of normal mitochondria five minutes after an oxidizable substrate has been added
a) The substrate cannot be oxidized either with or without 2,4-dinitrophenol unless ADP is also present.
b) Oxidation of the substrate does not occur until the 2,4-dinitrophenol is added. Afterward, oxidation proceeds rapidly until all of the substrate is consumed.
c)There is no effect; oxidation of the substrate continues at the same rate before and after the addition of 2,4-dinitrophenol.
Explanation / Answer
Option b) is correct.
