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.

➡️ Rainfall (more rain more erosion). ✔️

➡️water velocity ✔️

➡️shape, size and depth of channel ✔️

➡️stream capacity to transport eroded material, and the nature of the material being transported✔️

➡️Gradient (Steepness or slope) ✔️

➡️Discharge (Amount of water carried at a given time) ✔️

➡️Load (The materials carried by a stream)
Rainfall (more rain more erosion). ✔️

➡️Slope (the steeper the slope the faster the water will flow) ✔️
