Given a cellular respiration scenario where a cell has very low glucose levels but high levels of ADP and NADH, predict how this might affect the cell's energy production. What pathways would be activated or inhibited?
💡 Hint: Consider the needs of the cell in terms of energy requirements and the availability of substrates.
If a drug inhibits the function of ATP synthase, speculate on the resulting effect on cellular respiration and the potential impact on the ATP yield.
💡 Hint: Think about how ATP synthesis is connected to the electron transport chain and proton gradients.
