After research in the lab, it is found that it is having a difficult time propagating outside of its native environment, and it is identified that this is an issue with its respiration pathway. Overall ATP production is around half of expected,and you find that glycolysis isn’t producing any net ATP molecules and only one molecule of NADH. Question: Assuming that the respiration pathway is similar to other prokaryotes, where would you expect to find a nonfunctional mutation in this pathway? What is the reason for this?
