Rotenone blocks the transfer of electrons from complex I of the ETC to ubiquinone. (In other words, stops the ETC from functioning.) Answer the next 3 questions regarding the impacts of rotenone on metabolism. (Things to think about: Why is a proton gradient important for ATP production? How is proton concentration. related to \( \mathrm{pH} \) ?) If an organism is suffering from rotenone poisoning, a higher than normal proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane would be expected. True False Question 7 2 pts If an organism is suffering from rotenone poisoning, a higher than normal \( \mathrm{pH} \) in the inter-membrane space would be expected. True False
