18
Q

experimental analysis
1 - if intact mitochondria are incubated with ADP, Pi, NADH, succinate and O2 the concentrations of all these compounds begin to decrease while the concentrations of ATP, NAD, and fumarate begin to increase

2 - then if MM1 is added to the mixture, the rates of consumption of ADP, Pi & O2 decrease and the rate of formation of ATP decreases, NADH is no longer consumed and the rate of consumption of succinate is unchanged

1 - it blocks complex I
2 - it blocks complex II
3 - it blocks complex III
4 - it blocks ATP synthase
5 - it is an uncoupler

A

1 - it blocks complex I
