Question 35

Dinitrophenol (DNP) is a metabolic poison that acts as a mitochondrial uncoupler, preventing the synthesis of ATP while allowing electron transport to continue. If a sample of mammalian ileum epithelial cells is treated with DNP, which of the following transport processes across the cell-surface membrane will be directly inhibited due to the sudden loss of ATP production?

A

The co-transport of glucose and sodium ions (Na+\text{Na}^+Na+) into the cell through SGLT1

B

The passive movement of water through aquaporins down a water potential gradient

C

The active transport of sodium ions (Na+\text{Na}^+Na+) out of the cell via the sodium-potassium pump

D

The facilitated diffusion of glucose out of the cell via GLUT2 carrier proteins
