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.

arlik [135]

Answer:

Human glucocebrosidase is used as a therapeutic drug which is used to treat Gaucher's disease.

The farming of this substances in crops is very helpful for the population. The genetic engineering to insert genes in plants would result in GMOs.

It is more beneficial to use plants for this process as compared to that of animals because it is easily available and easily extracted.

It is more economical and easily accessible by people. It would not harm animals by incorporating the gene in them in laboratory conditions.
