Increases in intracellular calcium can be especially
detrimental to the cell. Therefore, calcium
homeostasis is very tightly regulated not
only across the cell membrane but also
through the additional work of sequestration in
endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. In
which of the following ways does increased intracellular
calcium concentration cause the
most cell damage?
(A) Enzyme activation
(B) Free radical generation
© Increased membrane permeability
(D) Inhibition of glycolysis
(E) Inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation
