During aerobic respiration, the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose theoretically yields 38 ATP. However, the actual yield is often lower. Which of the following is NOT a significant contributor to this reduced ATP yield?
Incomplete oxidation of glucose in the cytoplasm
Leakage of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane
Utilization of the proton gradient for processes other than ATP synthesis
Variations in the efficiency of the electron transport chain
