A scientist was studying the electron transport chain and developed a compound that bound to all the cytochromes in the proteins of the electron transport chain. Once bound, the compound blocked electron acceptance by the iron in the heme group of the cytochrome. Which one of the following would be most likely to occur in the presence of an oxidizable substrate?
