Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Cyanide is a deadly poison of respiration and inhibit the activity of cytochrome-c oxidase complex (which contains cytochrome-a and cytochrome- ) of electron transport chain of aerobic respiration. Thus, no proton gradient will be established and no ATP will be formed. Along with as the reduction of NADH and FAD  is also ceased due to blockage of ETS, the availability of hydrogen acceptors like NA  and FAD is ceased for Krebs’ cycle and glycolysis. Cyanide resistance pathway is anaerobic respiration.
