In a mitochondrion, a mutation occurs such that the protein responsible for accepting electrons from

FADH2 no longer functions. How many net ATP will this mitochondrion make in aerobic respiration? What will be an ideal response?


ANS: The mitochondrion will make 32 net ATP, as each of the 2 FADH2 made in the Krebs’ cycle
would have generated 2 ATP.
