Biology

Action of metabolic processes:

Oligomycin - Binds and blocks the proton channel in ATPsynthase

Carbon monoxide - Inhibits cytochrome oxidase

2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) - Binds protons and moves them downtheir electrochemical gradient

Rotenone - Blocks electron transfer at NADH dehydrogenase

Explain how these metabolic poisons affect different processesduring cell respiration?

- Effect on electron transport (increased, decreased, no effect)and why

- Effect on ATP synthesis (increased, decreased, no effect) andwhy
