- You are growing human muscles cells in the lab and you are trying to test how wellthe cells survive with decreasing concentrations of oxygen. As part of yourexperiment, you are measuring the rate of glucose use, the rate of mitochondrial ATPproduction and the pH of the solution surrounding the cells. As the concentration ofoxygen becomes lower änd lower, what changes might you expect to observe inthese cells?A. The rate of glucose use would increase, the rate of mitochondrial ATP productionwould decrease, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic).B. The rate of glucose use would decrease, the rate of mitochondrial ATP productionwould decrease, and the pH of the solution would increase (become more basic).C. The rate of glucose use would increase, the rate of mitochondrial ATP productionwould increase, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic)D.

The company has submitted a report summarizing the results of their animal and human testing. In the report, it was noted that Fat Away works by affecting the electron transport chain. It decreases the synthesis of ATP by making the mitochondrial membrane permeable to H+, which allows H+ to leak from the intermembrane space to the mitochondrial matrix. This effect leads to weight loss. You predict that a side effect of Fat Away will be increased production of NADH. increased production of pyruvate. increased production of lactate. increased body temperature.arrow_forwardAll enzymes of the TCA cycle reside in the mitochondrial membrane. answer choices A.)
