2. The poison cyanide acts by binding irreversibly to one of the components of the electron transport chain, blocking its action. As a result, the entire electron transport process comes to a screeching halt and the cells lose 94% of their ATP-producing capacity. Considering the types of cellular activities that depend on energy expenditure, what would be the consequences of cyanide poisoning?
