Dinitrophenol (DNP) is a drug that has the ability to separate the flow of electrons through the
electron transport and ATP proton pumps, used during the electron transport system. This
means that the energy from electron transfer cannot be used for ATP synthesis. Assuming
your bacteria has consumed DNP, how many ATPs would they produce form the complete,
aerobic oxidation of one glucose molecule?

Answer:

Four

Explanation:

Glycolysis ⟶    2ATP

TCA cycle ⟶    2ATP

ETC            ⟶ 34ATP

           Total = 38ATP

DNP disrupts the electron transport chain, so the bacteria will produce only four molecules of ATP from one of glucose.
