Science

Which restriction arises during electron transport processes, leading to inhibited oxidative phosphorylation?

A)Proton gradient dissipation stalls ATP synthase
B)Complex I mutations yield cytochrome C
C)Ubiquinone depletion blocks electron acceptance
D)Cytochrome oxidase facilitates substrate level phosphorylation

💡 Explanation

When uncoupling proteins permeate the inner mitochondrial membrane protons bypass ATP synthase; the proton gradient collapses because chemiosmosis is interrupted. Therefore, ATP is not properly produced, rather than normal respiration driving phosphorylation.
