Document Summary

Uncoupling means no longer nadh oxidation with atp synthesis. Uncoupling agents can be used for weight loss, but if not used controllably they can lead to too much weight loss and death. We have known how they work from like the first world war. They want a proton gradient to have as a source of energy to make atp. Even when mitochondria are resting (not producing atp) they have their proton gradient at its highest. When we give the mitochondria adp and pi, that"s when the magnitude of the proton gradient starts to drop, that"s because the protons are going through the channels. In reality the mitochondria always wants its proton gradient to be high so as it starts making atp, and the gradient goes down, then you need to start oxidizing more nadh to try to build that gradient back up.

I know that this alot of questions, but it's kinda a last ditch effort. these are the last 42 definitions i have left to answer out of 500 question for my final exam study guide. so whatever help i can get is fine. No explanations needed just what each definition is explaining and thanks in advance ladies and gentlemen.
