In this unit, we have been discussing the idea of coupledreactions and pathways. Consider how coupling affects the electrontransport chain (ETC) and ATP synthase in Oxidative Phosphorylation(OxPhos) and answer the prompts below:A. Explain how coupling makes it possible for the ETC to establisha proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Be sureto explain which parts of this particular process are endergonicand which are exergonic (4pts).B. Describe how ETC and ATP synthase would be affected if you addeda drug that irreversibly bound to and blocked complex IV of theETC, making complex IV unable to accept or donate electrons.Explain your reasoning (4pt).C. Now, describe how the citric acid cycle and fermentation wouldor would not be affected by this same drug (2pts).
