What else can I help you with?
Oxygen is known as the "terminal electron receptor" in the electron transport chain. Suppose an organism lacks the ability to breathe in oxygen.What is the most likely effect an oxygen deficit would have on the electron transport chain in mitochondria?
Cyanide binds the electron transport chain at the level of complex IV
Since cyanide is a poison that limits a cells ability to manufacture ATP a cell containing cyanide is least likely to carry on the process of?
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.
Without a terminal electron acceptor, the electrons of and would have nowhere to be released, and all of the enzyme complexes involved with the electron transport chain?
Cyanide binds the electron transport chain at the level of complex IV
Synonym for electron transport chain in photosynthesis?
what is a synonym of the electron transport chain
What is the electron acceptor for humans in the electron transport chain?
The electron acceptor for humans in the electron transport chain is oxygen.
What poison stops one of the important reactions in aerobic resperation?
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.
What does electron transport chain make?
The electron transport chain is used to make ATP.
In which membrane is the electron transport chain located?
The outer membrane is where the electron transport chain is located.
Cyanide acts as a mitochondrial poison by blocking the final step in the electron transport chain What will happen to human red blood cells if they are placed in an isotonic solution containing cyani?
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.
Does hydrogen serve as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain?
No, oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain.
What procces in respiration happens last?
Electronic transport chain
Give a reason why cyanide effects the cellular respiration process if it enter the cell?
Cyanide deactivates the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. This is the last enzyme of the electron transport chain (the final step of cell respiration). The electron transport chain allows a great concentration of protons (H+ ions) to build up in the matrix of mitochondria so that they can diffuse back through a channel which in turn synthesises ATP. So basically cyanide stops the last step of cell respiration from occurring and as such inhibits ATP synthesis.
