A scientist performs a series of mutation screens to look for mutations that reduce ATP production. One of the mutants, compared to a wild-type cell, has reduced levels of ATP and NADH and increased levels of FAD and pyruvate. Which hypothesis best fits these observations? -The mutation is disrupting glycolysis.
-The mutation is disrupting fermentation.
-The mutation is disrupting the citric acid cycle.
-The mutation is disrupting the electron transport chain.
