To which component of the electron transport chain does cyanide bind?

3

Which of the following are uncouplers of the electron transport chain?

II. 2,4-Dinitrophenol

III. Nitric oxide

IV. Aspirin

4

Reactive oxygen species are by-products of the electron transport chain. Which of the following are considered reactive oxygen species?

5

A drug is introduced into cells that affects the mechanics of the electron transport chain. Specifically, this drug completely inhibits the flow of electrons through the electron transport chain and also completely halts the synthesis of ATP. Which of the following drugs is capable of doing this, and how is it accomplished?

6

Suppose that a scientist is simultaneously measuring both the amount of oxygen and the amount of glucose that is being used by cells. If a chemical were added that inhibited the electron transport chain, what would be expected to happen to the consumption of oxygen and glucose?

7

Which of the following is an inhibitor of the inner mitochondrial proton gradient?

8

ATP synthase can be inhibited exclusively by __________.

9

Oxygen is known as the "terminal electron receptor" in the electron transport chain. Suppose an organism lacks the ability to breathe in oxygen.

What is the most likely effect an oxygen deficit would have on the electron transport chain in mitochondria?

10
