ATP synthase molecules in mitochondria form dimers that are localized mostly in the cristae. What should happen if subunits of the synthase that are required for dimerization are mutated? Less ATP would be produced O ATP would not be transported out of the matrix The pH of the intermembrane space would decrease O Nothing would happen

You are growing human muscles cells in the lab and you are trying to test how wellthe cells survive with decreasing concentrations of oxygen. As part of yourexperiment, you are measuring the rate of glucose use, the rate of mitochondrial ATPproduction and the pH of the solution surrounding the cells. As the concentration ofoxygen becomes lower änd lower, what changes might you expect to observe inthese cells?A. The rate of glucose use would increase, the rate of mitochondrial ATP productionwould decrease, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic).B. The rate of glucose use would decrease, the rate of mitochondrial ATP productionwould decrease, and the pH of the solution would increase (become more basic).C. The rate of glucose use would increase, the rate of mitochondrial ATP productionwould increase, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic)D. The rate if glucose use would decrease, the rate of mitochondrial ATP productionwould decrease, and…
