Question

d)In a further experiment, the researchers add a compound to the cell growth medium that both binds and releases protons (H+) and also passes through lipid membranes. Predict the effect of this added compound on ATP production by the cells. Justify your prediction.

Answer 1

Answer:

The researchers add a compound to the cell growth medium that both binds and releases protons (H+) and also pass through lipid membranes. The effect that the added compound will have on the ATP production by the cells is that ATP synthase will stop.
