Dinitrophenol (DNP) was used extensively in diet pills from 1933 to 1938. DNP causes the mitochondrial membranes to be freely permeable to Hº. a) In the presence of DNP, less ATP is generated in a cell than normal. What is the number of ATP that would be produced from 1 glucose molecule in the presence of DNP? (1 point) Explain your answer. (3 points) b) Would this low amount of ATP increase, decrease, or have no effect on the activity of: ▪ phosphofructokinase? Briefly (in 1 sentence or less) explain why. (2 points) ▪ electron transport chain (not chemiosmosis!)? Briefly (in 1 sentence or less) explain why. (2 points) ▪ glycogenolysis? Briefly (in 1 sentence or less) explain why. (2 points) c) DNP was later banned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because it caused excessive heat production. Briefly (in 1 sentence or less) explain how DNP may cause this side effect.
