Practice question
Question
Correctly match the Inhibitor with its respective Function in mitochondrial respiration. Inhibitor Function P. FCCP 1. Inhibits cytochrome c oxidase Q. Cyanide 2. Makes the membrane permeable to protons R. Oligomycin A 3. Blocks mitochondrial uptake of succinate S. Butyl malonate 4. Inhibits ATP synthase
Explanation
P-2; Q-1; R-4; S-3 is correct because it matches established cell principles where p-2; q-1; r-4; s-3 represents the functional mechanism. Alternatives such as P-2; Q-3; R-1; S-4, P-2; Q-4; R-3; S-1 contradict experimental evidence and standard textbook descriptions.
