What would happen to the proton gradient


Problem

In the electron transport chain, a series of proton pumps build an electrochemical gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

1. If pores were added to this membrane, allowing the diffusion of protons across the membrane, what would happen to the proton gradient?

2. Would ATP still be made as efficiently as when there were no pores? Why or why not?
