The antibiotic chloramphenicol prevents protein synthesis in mitochondria and in some prokaryotes. Chloramphenicol does not prevent protein synthesis in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. What effect would this have on the cells of a person being treated with chloramphenicol?
- Arate of ATP production decreases; transcription of nuclear DNA decreases
- Brate of ATP production decreases; transcription of nuclear DNA no effect
- Crate of ATP production increases; transcription of nuclear DNA decreases
- Drate of ATP production no effect; transcription of nuclear DNA no effect
