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.

Which of the following are limiting nutrients ?
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Nitrogen and Phosphorus

Explanation:

When the function of a whole ecosystem is limited because of a nutrient , which is present in limited amount, it is called as a limiting nutrient. The organisms uptake water and carbon directly from the environment as it is abundant in nature. The nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous are present in limited amount and moreover they are not present in the form that can be directly taken up by the organism.

Thus, Nitrogen and Phosphorous are limiting nutrients.

Rapid defibrillation is a link in the adult chain of survival. why is this important to survival
Marysya12 [62]
Rapid defibrillation is important because it contributes greatly to the survival of sudden cardiac arrest patients by eliminating abnormal hearth rhythm. Research has shown that the only proven, effective treatment for sudden heart attack is prompt defibrillation which is applied within the first few minutes of attack.
