It has no access to a secondary source from where it can get its energy. Does(cid:374)"t ha(cid:448)e the (cid:373)ea(cid:374)s for a lo(cid:374)g ter(cid:373) storage. The main reason is because there is no transporter on the plasma membrane for glucose. Change in respiration rate (oxygen consumption) in isolated mitochondria by addition of nadh, adp, uncoupler etc. Explain the change in respiration rate (oxygen consumption) in isolated mitochondria by adding nadh, adp, uncoupler, etc. Rate of respiration measured by the rate of oxygen consumption. This is how fast electron transport is going.
