2,4-Dinitrophenol and oligomycin inhibit mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. 2,4- Dinitrophenol is an uncoupling agent; oligomycin blocks the ATP synthesis reaction itself. Therefore, 2,4-dinitrophenol will: A) allow electron transfer in the presence of oligomycin. B) allow oxidative phosphorylation in the presence of oligomycin. C) block electron transfer in the presence of oligomycin. D) diminish O2 consumption in the presence of oligomycin. E) None of the answers is correct. - A) ...
