Drugs known as uncouplers facilitate diffusion of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane in other words the membrane becomes leaky which allows protons to move back and forth across the membrane freely When such a drug is added what will happen to ATP synthesis and oxygen consumption if the rates of glycolysis and the Krebs cycle stay the same LO OLO O Both ATP synthesis and oxygen consumption will decrease ATP synthesis will decrease oxygen consumption will increase ATP synthesis will increase oxygen consumption will decrease Both ATP synthesis and oxygen consumption will increase ATP synthesis will decrease oxygen consumption will stay the same
