Answer:

The main factor that causes vasoconstriction is the high concentration calcium inside muscle cells.

Explanation:

When the vessels suffer vasoconstriction, the blood supply is decreased and in this way the heat of the body is maintained. The way this happens is because the blood can no longer reach the surface and therefore decreases outward heat radiation.  The main factor that causes vasoconstriction is the high concentration calcium inside muscle cells. There are several factors that cause vasoconstriction, internal or external. Environment is one of the external factors, and what happens to the penguins' feet is an example for it, since they are trying to preserve body heat to survive.

What steps cyanide interrupts to stop ATP synthesis?
solniwko [45]

Explanation:

Cyanide poisons the mitochondrial electron transport chain within cells and renders the body unable to derive energy (adenosine triphosphate—ATP) from oxygen. Specifically, it binds to the a3 portion (complex IV) of cytochrome oxidase and prevents cells from using oxygen, causing rapid death.
