Q

What is the purpose of the ATP transporter located near the ATP synthetase in the mitochondrial inner membrane?

A

it allows ATP to go out of the mitochondrial matrix and also allows some to go in.

Q

what is a way to inhibit the ETC without inhibiting any of the complexes or reducing the ADP concentration?

A

use Uncoupling proteins which act as another transporter for H+ to come back into the mitochondrial matrix, undermining the proton motive force necessary for ATP synthetase to function.
