Uncoupling Proteins Function in Maintaining Long-Term Neutral Energy Balance By

Question

Uncoupling proteins function in maintaining long-term neutral energy balance by
A) uncoupling electron transport in mitochondria from ATP production.
B) uncoupling glycolysis from ATP production.
C) uncoupling food intake from nutrient uptake in the gut.
D) all of these.
E) none of these.

Accepted Answer

Uncoupling proteins function by uncoupling electron transport in mitochondria from ATP production, which generates heat instead of ATP, helping in thermogenesis and maintaining energy balance.
