Which of the following would increase in concentration
in the matrix in the presence of an et chain blocker?
NAD+
NADH
ATP
Oxaloacetate
None
The electron transport chain consists a sequence of organic molecules and proteins which transport the electron released by the NADH and the FADH2. It generates a proton gradient and the proton is finally reached to the ATP synthetase, which generates the ATP molecules.
So, when the chain blocker is present, the process stops.
In this case there will be electron release by the NADH, so it's concentration in the matrix increases.
So the correct option is B.
