In a mitochondrion, a mutation occurs such that the protein responsible for accepting electrons from FADH2 no longer

functions. How will this affect ATP production?



What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: The mitochondrion will make fewer ATP molecules as FADH2 will not be able to provide its
H+ or electrons to the electron transport phosphorylation process.
