12. You are spraying your garden with a pesticide and you accidentally swallow a small amount. You read on the package that this pesticide inhibits ATP synthase. Should you be worried

Yes

Explanation:

The ATP synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in the body of living organisms. The ATP is the energy currency of the cells, without it, metabolic processes will not be able to proceed. ATP synthase helps add inorganic phosphate (Pi) to ADP in order to generate ATP.

Hence, if the pesticide is known to inhibit ATP synthase, it means that ATP synthesis will be disrupted and the cells of the body will not be able to get the required energy to carry out their normal metabolic activities.

There is a genuine reason to be worried and I should be looking to get medical help as soon as possible.
