Answer:

Some body parts, for example, such as muscles, red blood cells, nails, skin, and hair, wear out and/or they die, and therefore they are constantly replaced. To replace the worn out parts and dead parts, there is need for cell division.  Other body parts last longer. For example, the liver will last as long as a person lives, and in fact liver failure is one way a person will die. Liver cells are normally not replaced, and therefore there is normally no cell division in the liver. Cell division in these body parts would simply make them bigger and bigger and that may result in illness or even death. In fact, cancer cells are cells that should not be dividing but they continue to divide non-stop because something went wrong.

vredina [299]
ADP can be converted into ATP during the addition of an inorganic phosphate.

The toxic cyanide anion (CN-) binds to cytochrome c oxidase and prevents electron transfer. Dosing of BP-CML cells with cyanide
astra-53 [7]

Answer: C. Ii & III are correct

II. reduced intracellular ATP.

III. apoptosis or necrosis.

Explanation:

Cytochrome c oxidase controls the last step of food oxidation. Cytochrome c oxidase is an enzyme responsible for electron transfer in the electron transport chain (ETC), it inhibit in slowing down or stopping the ETC.

Consequently, ATP production would be gradually reduced, as the ETC is responsible for the majority of ATP production. This shows option II is correct.

The question starts by stating that cyanide is highly toxic, so this match up with the fact that a large dose would also cause cell death (apoptosis or necrosis). Therefore, option III is also accurate.

Option I: Inhibiting the ETC is consequential as it reduces oxygen demand because electrons would not flow to oxygen, the final electron acceptor.
