The poison leaf plant, also known as gifblaar (pictured above), contains fluoroacetic acid, a compound that interferes with the Krebs cycle, eventually causing it to shut down completely.
Which of these answer choices best describes the overall effects that would occur in an animal that consumes this plant?
Choose 1 answer:
(A) Oxidative phosphorylation would not occur, the majority of ATP will not form, and the animal will not be able to survive.
(B) ATP production would stop completely, but anaerobic respiration would still occur.
(c) Aerobic respiration would be negatively effected, but because the animal can still undergo glycolysis (anaerobic process), it would still be able to survive.
(D) Oxidative phosphorylation will still occur, but the majority of ATP will not form, and the animal will not be able to survive.
