Explain how cyanide caused Jared’s symptoms (e.g., muscle weakness).

xenn [34]

Answer:

Cyanide may cause muscle weakness because tissues are not able to use oxygen for cellular respiration

Explanation:

Cyanide is a highly toxic compound that inhibits cellular respiration by inactivating cytochrome oxidase in mitochondria, which is a key enzyme responsible for oxidative metabolism and energy production. Thus, cyanide consumption decreases the utilization of oxygen by muscle cells, thereby causing weakness. The symptoms of cyanide poisoning include, among others, weakness, malaise, visual disturbances, muscle pains, etc.
