Question
Chapter 11.6, Problem 1RIA
Summary Introduction
The electron transport chain (ETC) is a network of electron and cooperate together to transfer the electron to the donor. The electron source can also be utilized by the cells in the form of energy. The ETC has the ability to transfer the negative potential to the positive potential like combining O2 and H+.

Cyanide is known to be an inhibitor of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. It works by inhibiting one of the cytochrome enzymes (Cit C in the picture). So how do you cause the death of an individual? It explains from the cellular process that is affected and how this leads to the death of the individual.
