Many poisons function by blocking certain steps in metabolic pathways.For example, cyanide blocks the last step in the electron-transport chain.Explain why this blockage causes death.
Photosynthesis is defined as the chemical process, wherein carbon dioxide in the presence of water and radiant energy gets converted to glucose (chemical energy), giving out oxygen as byproducts. In the equation, the combining reactants and resulting products are expressed along with their respective numbers of molecules. Putting this in a simplified formula, the following equation represents this process.
CO2 + H2O + Light energy → C6H12O6 + O2
Considering this equation, how plant lovers (plantitos and plantitas) able to cultivate their plants?
Cytochrome B5 is one of many cytochrome molecules in Electron Transport Chain. How would electron transport be affected if the cell had a defective cytochrome B5 gene and did not produce functional cytochrome B5? (It will help to discuss the function of cytochromes in Electron Transport Chain in your answer!)

- Which of the following statements are true? Explain. I. ATP synthesis will cease to occur when the electron flow is blocked by cyanide. II. 2,4-DNP allows electron flow to continue in the ETC without the synthesis of ATP. III. -ΔG is the quantity that signifies that the reaction is SPONTANEOUS.arrow_forwardIn electron transfer, only the quinone portion of the ubiquinone undergoes oxidation-reduction; the isoprenoid side chain remains unchanged. What is the function of this chain?arrow_forwardTo learn more about the role of the electron transport chain in generating energy during respiration in this organism, you use two drugs. These drugs can each pick up electrons from specific intermediates in the pathway as shown above. You treat cells carrying out respiration with either a saturating dose of drug A or B, so that all the electrons which would normally continue along the pathway are captured by the drug in question. Complete the following table. In the presence of drug A, will the cells continue to consume O2? (yes or no), will the cells continue to produce CO2? (yes or no) In the presence of drug B, will the cells continue to consume O2? (yes or no), will the cells continue to produce CO2? (yes or no)arrow_forward
