Which consequence results when quantum tunneling breaks down in liver cell mitochondria?

A)Increased reactive oxygen species formation
B)Enhanced mitochondrial membrane polarization
C)Decreased cellular ATP production rates
D)Reduced calcium buffering capacity

💡 Explanation

In liver cells, diminished quantum tunneling mediated electron transfer affects oxidative phosphorylation because ubiquinone transports electrons between protein complexes; therefore increased electron leakage occurs, favoring ROS formation, rather than efficient ATP production.
