Answer:

The answer is true, the pumping of hydrogen ions decreases and finally stopps.

Explanation:

As the cyanide blocks the bindinge site for oxygen, which is normally reduced to water, the pumping of hydrogen from the matrix into the space between the mitochondrial membrane decreases and finally stopps. There is an accumulation of electrons and the components of the respiratory chain are completely reduced, therefore the respiratory chain stopps working.

What is the composition of the asthenosphere?
BartSMP [9]

The asthenosphere lies 80-200km below the surface under the lithosphere. Convection also occurs in the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mostly made of up rock material (magnesium and iron silicates). The asthenosphere makes up 6% of the mantle and lets the lithosphere move.

Best of Luck!
