Answer:

ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation will stop.

Explanation:

Cyanide inhibits cytochrome oxidase that passes electrons to the molecule oxygen. Cytochrome oxidase also pumps two protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space during electron transfer. Inhibition of cytochrome oxidase would not allow the transfer of electrons to oxygen and the whole electron transport chain would be stopped. There would not be any generation of proton concentration gradient to drive the process of ATP synthesis. Hence, ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation will be stopped after cyanide poisoning in aerobic cells.

bagirrra123 [75]
All of the above points are valid for fossils' contributions in understanding the process of evolution. They allow us to study the ancestry, we can see the homologous organs or structures, if fossils are well-preserved; different fossils can lead us to follow the cycles of the changes that occurred during macroevolutions, and fossils can be used to study different populations which had different body structures for surviving in different environmental conditions.

Leukemia may be defined as the cancer of the blood cells especially white blood cells. The leukemia may occur due to mutation or may also occur due to the biological agents.

Leukemia causes the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of the blood cells. These white blood cells are unable to fight with infections and causes the bone marrow to produce impair formation of blood cells. The patient shows abnormal growth and large count of leukocytes.

Differences between arteries, veins and capillaries​
matrenka [14]

Answer:

There are three main types of blood vessels:

1)Artery ---

i) It is a blood vessel having a thick wall.

ii) It carries blood from the heart to different parts of the body.

iii) On regulatory demand of the body it can dilate or constrict.

iv) It doesn't contain any valve.

v) All arteries carry oxygenated blood except the pulmonary artery.

2)Vein ---

i) It is a blood vessel having a thin wall.

ii) It brings blood from different parts to the heart.

iii) It can't dilate or constrict under normal conditions.

iv) It contains valves that allow the blood to flow in one direction towards the heart.

v) All veins carry deoxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein.

3)Capillary ---

i) It is a very narrow blood vessel that has very thin walls.

ii) It forms a network throughout the body in all living cells connecting arteries to veins.

iii) It can dilate or constrict according to the requirement of tissue.

iv) It doesn't have any valve.

v) It contains mixed blood as it connects arteries and veins
