Answer:
Poisning by 2-deoxyglucose syops the glycolysis process which leads to cardiovascular and respiratory symptoms. Due to property of inhibiting the enzyme reqquired for glycolysis, glucokinase. So, there is no ATP production takes place.

Answer: C. A natural disaster, such as a hurricane, struck the island.
A limiting factor is a resource or ecological condition because of which growth and distribution of an organism or group of organisms living in an ecosystem limits. A limiting factor can be of either physical or biological in nature. A limiting factor restricts organisms from occupying their fundamental niche. Examples of limiting factor are resources, stress due to overcrowding, disease or parasite and a natural disaster. According to the condition mentioned natural hazard can be the only limiting factor to limit the population at such considerable rate. Natural disaster is a physical limiting factor which has catastrophic impact of populations of different species living in an ecosystem. It has the potential to wipe out several inhabitants in one drastic event. Therefore, a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, struck the island can be a most likely explanation for the changes that the scientists observed.
