Electron transport is coupled to oxidative phosphorylation in that it creates the proton gradient that provides the energy for oxidative phosphorylation. Think about how the two processes could be decoupled. A. What might be one mechanism for decoupling? B. What would be the result of decoupling? Hint: many cold-adapted animals have tissues in which decoupling happens normally
