a). How does the proton gradient contribute to ATP
synthesis?

b). You expose a cell to a metabolite that blocks that transport
of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. What do you
predict will happen to both the voltage of the inner
mitochondrial membrane and its ATP
production as a result of the exposure? Be sure to explain
your reasoning.
