Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Aerobic respiration is a process that utilizes the electron transport chain in order to oxidize glucose into energy. If a chemical were added that inhibited the electron transport chain, the cell would no longer be able to fully oxidize glucose. Therefore, oxygen consumption will decrease.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inhibition of the ATP synthase compromises the output of ATP by OXPHOS and rewires energy metabolism to an enhanced glycolysis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cyanide: inhibits terminal electron transfer to oxygen, Complex IV. 4. Carbon Monoxide: inhibits cytochrome oxidase by competing with an oxygen-binding site, Complex IV.
Detailed explanation-4: -What effect would cyanide have on ATP synthesis? [link] After cyanide poisoning, the electron transport chain can no longer pump electrons into the intermembrane space. The pH of the intermembrane space would increase, the pH gradient would decrease, and ATP synthesis would stop.
