Question

clear depiction of UCP 1 in mitoch dria. Familiarize yourself with this tration and answer questions below NDH Part 2. Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP I), also known as thermogenin is a proton channel found in the mito- chondrial innermembrane. UCP I is activated by a variety of different stimuli, including fatty acids, cold and neural activity. When stimulated to do so, these thermogenins allow for protons to return (actually a significant influx) to the matrix, down the concentration gradient (bypassing the ATP Synthetase), whiclh generates a lot of heat for the cell, tissue, organ, and the organism. ivate lots of UCP 1 to MacBoo FS

Explanation / Answer

If you add / active lots of UPC 1, synthesis of ATP and oxygen consumption will decrease, because UCP1 is a protein that decouple the proton gradient of the generation of ATP by ATP synthase.
