Question
For a typical eukaryotic cell, which of the following would occur if the cell were deprived of oxygen for a prolonged period of time (but not so long the cell dies or becomes non-viable)?

b. All ATP synthesis in the cell would stop.
c. The citric acid cycle would stop
d. The protein gradient across the inner-mitochondrial membrane would dissipate.
e. Both a & c would occur
f. Both c & d would occur
