Question
cyanide binds to at least one molecule involved in producing atp. in a cell exposed to cyanide, most of the cyanide will be in lysosomes. peroxisomes. ribosomes. mitochondria.
ATP is mainly produced in mitochondria through cellular respiration. Cyanide binds to a molecule in the electron - transport chain in mitochondria which is involved in ATP production. So cyanide will accumulate in mitochondria. Lysosomes are for digestion, peroxisomes deal with oxidative reactions like breaking down hydrogen peroxide, and ribosomes are for protein synthesis.
