Which of the following would increase the electron transport system's production of ATP? A) limiting the amount of oxygen available B) decreasing use of ATP and thus reducing available ADP C) reducing synthesis of NAD⁺ and FAD D) adding an NADH reductase inhibitor E) adding additional hydrogen ions into the intermembrane space of the mitochondria

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding additional hydrogen ions into the intermembrane space of the mitochondria would increase the proton gradient, thus increasing the electron transport system's production of ATP through chemiosmosis. The other options would all decrease the production of ATP.
