A biochemist wants to control the initial substrate-level phosphorylation that occurs in the tracheal cells of grasshoppers once glucose has crossed the plasma membrane. He has access to the following inhibitors: Rotenone - an electron transport chain inhibitor, Oligomycin - an ATP synthase inhibitor, and TLN-232, an inhibitor of glycolysis. Which inhibitor should he use to slow down initial substrate-level phosphorylation that occurs once glucose has crossed the plasma membrane?  

A.  Rotenone B.  Oligomycin C.  TLN-232 D.  None of these inhibitors would be effective in preventing substrate-level phosphorylation Clarify Question What is the key concept addressed by the question?
