A neuronal cell model was exposed to a mitochondrial uncoupler that dissipates the proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles that generate ATP via oxidative phosphorylation. Within 30 minutes, cellular ATP levels fell and cytosolic AMP increased, while oxygen consumption transiently rose. Which outcome best exemplifies the role of mitochondria in this scenario?
