Question

Which would be TRUE if an inhibitor blocked the activity of mitochondrial ATP synthase?

Choice A-The space b/t membranes would increase is NOT correct

Inhibition of ATPase Which would be TRUE if an inhibitor blocked the activity of mitochondrial ATP synthase? Multiple Choice The pH in the space between the mitochondrial membranes would increase. The concentration of NADH would increase. The pH in the space between the mitochondrial membranes would decrease. ATP synthesis would increase. Oxygen consumption would decrease.

Explanation / Answer

The blocking of ATPase would result in higher concentration of NADH. Hence the Kreb cycle will remain active but No ATP will generated in ETC. Option B is correct.
