B) DNP must increase the rate of substrate-level phosphorylation, causing NADH to be produced more quickly than it can be used by the electron transport chain.
C) DNP must block cells from using fats and proteins to make ATP.
D) DNP must increase metabolism of food by producing heat instead of ATP.
