understand my homework assignment...? I'm just..overall confused. Please explain what I'm supposed to do in simpler words? Biology isn't my thing! Thank you!
"Many poisons work by disrupting the metabolic pathways in organisms, especially those making ATP or other important components of respiration and photosynthesis.
Cyanide is a perfect example. It blocks the flow of electrons to oxygen at the end of the electron transport chain, thus ultimately stopping the whole process. Death results from a lack of ATP being produced to supply our cells with energy.
Your assignment is to do research on different poisons. You are to find two different poisons that have an effect on respiration. You will show how the poisons affect the metabolic pathways associated with respiration.
Important pieces of information:
Must be two pages in length. (typed, 12 point font, double spaced)
Detailed explanation on how each poison works, describing it using information you have learned in this chapter
Your sources must be cited
A diagram showing what is going on in this process will also need to be included.
The diagram will be hand drawn"
... what poisons should I do?
This is so confusing to me..
