(b) The effects of a poison on actively respiring mitochondria are being studied to determine its mode of action. When the poison is added, all proteins and Q in the electron transport chain are in the reduced form, and ATP production stops. (Assume electron transport is continuously occurring.) This means that the poison could be inhibiting complex I.
