PLEASE HELP ME For each molecule of glucose, glycolysis only makes 2 ATP, the Krebs cycle only makes 2 ATP and the ETC makes 34 ATP. If the suspects had given Jared the 2-deoxyglucose poison, would the decrease in ATP concentration be smaller, the same or larger as when they used cyanide? Explain your answer.

Explanation:

2-deoxyglucose poison has its effects during glycolysis, which only produces 2 ATP, while Cyanide takes place during ETC which produces 34. If given the 2-deoxyglucose poison this would stunt the rest of the process very early on, so much so that no ATP could have been produced. So the ATP concentration would have decreased if given the other poison.

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
