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.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

<em>Yes, the above terms will be much similar.</em>

Explanation:

The term 'closest evolutionary relationship' reflects the organism or species which were the closest to different species in a phylogeny.

Most common ancestor also describes the ancestor from which two different organisms might have evolved.

Both the terms 'closest evolutionary relationship' and 'most common ancestor' show the common ancestors in a phylogenetic lineage. Hence, on evolutionary levels, both these terms have similar meanings and are often used to describe phylogenetic lineages.
