### Part IV:1. **What affect would cyanide have on the electron transport chain and the production of ATP? Explain your answer.**2. **Given what you now know about the action of cyanide on cellular respiration, explain why the patients died of lack of oxygen while their blood oxygen levels were normal?**3. **Would artificial respiration or oxygenation have saved these people? Why or why not?**4. **Looking back at the information you have about the people before they got sick, can you suggest a possible source of the cyanide poisoning? How should public health officials and police respond to this tragedy?** **Part IV – Role of Cyanide**You are now convinced that you know the cause of death for these victims and quickly report it back to the police as this is a very dangerous situation. After realizing that the electron transport chain was no longer functioning, you started to suspect poisoning and ran a blood test for various poisons that you knew affected the electron transport chain. The test of all seven patients came back positive for cyanide. Cyanide irreversibly binds to cytochrome c oxidase (CcOX) of the electron transport chain and prevents the transfer of electrons to oxygen, the final electron acceptor.
