Cyanide binds the electron transport chain at the level of complex IV
Cellular respiration. More specifically, electron transport chain. Cyanide doesn't just simply limit manufacturing of ATP, it blocks the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase, a crucial enzyme in the electron transport chain. Since ETC is the largest supplier of ATP, the ATP supply in the cell declines rapidly.
what is a synonym of the electron transport chain
The electron acceptor for humans in the electron transport chain is oxygen.
Cyanide is a poison that stops one of the important reactions in aerobic respiration by inhibiting the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, which is crucial in the electron transport chain. This disruption prevents the electron transport chain from functioning properly, leading to a halt in ATP production and ultimately cell death.
The electron transport chain is used to make ATP.
The outer membrane is where the electron transport chain is located.
If red blood cells are placed in an isotonic solution containing cyanide, the cyanide will enter the cell and disrupt the electron transport chain in mitochondria. This will prevent ATP production, leading to cell death. The cell membrane may also be damaged due to the effects of cyanide poisoning.
No, oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain.
