Problem:
Cyanide poisoning causes a type of hypoxia by inhibiting cytochrome c oxidase, which is the very last protein in the electron transport chain.
Required:
Question 1: Explain how/why cyanide inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase interferes with cellular respiration.
Question 2: Does the cell have any alternative to keep glycolysis going? C) Explain the purpose of oxygen in respiration.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
