If 1μmol ADP is added to a suspension of mitochondria which also contains an
excess of both phosphate and an oxidisable substrate (malate) how much
oxygen would be consumed by the mitochondria during the total conversion
of ADP to ATP? Express your answer as μmol O2 (show your work). Assume
that oxidative phosphorylation gives 2.5 ATP for a pair of electrons on NADH and 1.5
for the pair on FADH2).
