Question
Chapter 18, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the proposal and rejection of uncoupler drugs. The reason for the acceptance of this proposal by antiperspirant brands.
Concept introduction:
Oxidative phosphorylation is a coupled process in which electrons are transferred from NADH or FADH2 to the oxygen molecules via the electron carriers, resulting in the synthesis of ATP. This process takes place in mitochondria and is the major source of ATP synthesis in the cell.
