Many toxins and poisons block certain enzymes in the mitochondria. For example, many fruits, including apricots, apples, plums,

peaches, and cherries, contain seeds and pits that can cause the formation and release of the poison cyanide if they are ground and ingested. Cyanide binds to an enzyme in the inner mitochondrial membrane critical to energy production. Why would this be fatal for a cell?
A. Cells would not be able to reproduce.
B. Cells would not be able to undergo adequate organelle functioning.
C. All of the answer choices are correct.
D. Cells could have inadequate distribution of ions.

Answer:

C. All of the answer choices are correct.

Explanation:

Option A is correct because the reproduction of the cell implies arrangement of chromosomes, making of proteins, organelles, cytokinesis and other cells process that need energy since the mitochondria is not working properly there isn't an appropriate organelle function ( option B).

Option D is correct because ATP is needed for the membrane proteins to undergo active transport. For example the sodium-potassium pump is crucial for the balance of ions. With no energy the protein involved in this process would not work.

What is a communicable disease chain? what steps can a nurse can take to break a link within the communicable disease chain?
Kaylis [27]
<span>A diseases may be classified as either communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens who inhabit a host, man (I'm not saying man is the only host or man is necessarily the final host; there could be many host) who in turn passes the disease to another. Pathogens are viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. There are several stages before the pathogen metamorphoses into a full-blown disease. The stages in which several events happen builds up before the pathogen affects the final host is called a communicable disease chain. There are six stages ( Pathogen, reservoir, portal of ext, mode of transmission, portal of entry and susceptible host) in the communicable disease chain but the step a nurse shouod take is 1. Destroy the second link (Reservoir) by thoroughly sanitizing the environment. Obviously, this is where the Pathogens live. If the reservoir is taken care of; there's no way they could infect the host.</span>
