Explanation / Answer

5. Option a is the correct answer. Uncoupling agents dissipate the electrochemical gradient and no proton motive force is generated for chemiosmosis and thus no ATP synthesis occurs and energy released from dissipation of electrochemical gradient converted into heat.

During resoiration process electrons carried by NADH and FADH2 enter to electron transport chain and transfer from one complex to another complex. During transfer of electron eenergy is released which causes the movement of protons from matrix to intermembrane space resulting into development of proton gradient. When proton come back to the matrix, energy is released which is utilized by ATP synthase to produce ATP from ADP. An uncoupling agent dissipate this electrochemical gradient and thus proton gradient does not develop and no ATP formation occurs rather heat is produced.
