When a poison such as cyanide blocks the electron transport chain, glycolysis and the citric acid cycle also eventually stop wor

king. Which of the following is the best explanation for this?a) The uptake of oxygen stops because electron transport was inhibited b) They run out of ADP c) A high level of NADH is present in the cell d) Electrons are no longer available from the electron transport chain to power glycolysis and the citric acid cycle e) NAD⁺ and FAD are not available for glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to continue

NAD⁺ and FAD are not available for glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to continue.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The glycolysis, citric acid cycle and the Electron transport chain all together makes up the aerobic respiration. The glycolysis and Kreb's Cycle produces a lot of reduced hydrogen ion transporters like NADH and FADH which are then transported to the inner Mitochondrial membrane which are then oxidised back to the NAD and FAD forms by accepting their hydrogens by either complex 1 or complex 2. Now the cyanide blocks the electron transport chain which means there's noone to accept those hydrogens. So there will be enormous NADH and FADH in cell, but there will be reduced or nil NAD and FAD. This will lead to disappearance of hydrogen ion acceptors which are essential to carry out Kreb's Cycle and glycolysis. So this will lead to stoppage of them.

Answer:

HOPE IT HELPS -

Most viruses have either RNA or DNA as their genetic material. The nucleic acid may be single- or double-stranded. The entire infectious virus particle, called a virion, consists of the nucleic acid and an outer shell of protein. The simplest viruses contain only enough RNA or DNA to encode four proteins

Can similar mineral composition be found in rocks both the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains even though the rocks look so di
Setler [38]
The rock formations in the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains is said to be different yet have similar amounts of certain minerals because the rock of Rocky Mountains is igneous rock while the rock of the Great Plains is sedimentary rock, Though the rocks may have some certain amount of minerals but they are formed in different ways.
When sediment is firmly pressed and cemented together, it leads to formation of sedimentary rock but when Magma cools it form igneous rock when it's hardens.

Hopes this helps!
