Which of the following statements best predicts the effect of increasing the permeability of the mitochondrial membranes to large molecules?

Respuesta :

The options missing from the question is given below:

  1. ATP production will increase because of an increase in the rate at which proteins diffuse out of mitochondria;
  2. ATP production will increase because of an increase in the mixing of mitochondrial and cytosolic substances;
  3. ATP production will decrease because of an increase in the occurrence of uncontrolled chemical reactions;
  4. ATP production will decrease because of an increase in the surface area of the mitochondrial membranes

The correct answer is  3 above.

ATP production reduces and ultimately drops due to the irregularities caused by the increased permeability of the mitochondrial membranes.

Also triggered by the increase in permeability are bioenergetic crises and a decrease in oxygen consumption rate.

Osmotic imbalance and changes in the ion homeostasis of the cell-matrix is the major causative factor for Mitochondrial swelling.
