Would artificial respiration or supplemental oxygen have saved these people?
Yes, increasing the level of oxygen would have forced it to diffuse into the cells where it was needed
No, cytochrome c oxidase would still be blocked by the cyanide preventing any electrons from being
passed to oxygen
No, cyanide binds directly to the oxygen and degrades it so any additional oxygen would be
destroyed as well
Yes, electrons from the oxygen could have been added directly to ADP to form ATP, bypassing the
ETC entirely
