Question
Chapter 27, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The meaning of caloric homeostasis should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The homeostasis is the capability of the body to cope up with the external environment and keep the internal part of the body stable. The most common example of homeostasis is the average temperature of the human body, which is maintained at 98.6 degrees.

- The phosphate translocase is an inner mitochondrial membrane symporter that transports H2PO4- and H+ into the mitochondrial matrix. Phosphate is a substrate for Complex V (the ATP Synthase), the enzyme that couples the synthesis of ATP to the H+ gradient formed by the electron transport chain. (a) Bongotoxin is a hypothetical compound that inhibits the phosphate translocase of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Explain why electron transport from NADH to O2 stops when bongotoxin is added to mitochondria (i.e., why do electrons stop flowing through the electron transport chain even with an abundance of NADH and O 2 present). What effect will the addition of the weak acid dinitrophenol (DNP) to the cytosol have on electron transport in bongotoxin-inhibited mitochondria? Be sure to explain your answers.
