You and your partner are watching a classic spy thriller movie.  Rather than being captured and interrogated, the enemy agent takes cyanide and dies, quickly. Your partner, a non-scientist, asks you why the cyanide was deadly. a.  Which glucose catabolic process (eg., glycolysis) is inhibited by cyanide? (1 point) b.  Why is inhibiting this process (your answer to part “a”) deadly so quickly?  (2 points) -Be very specific in your answers to “a” and “b”.  To receive full credit you must provide the name of the process that is inhibited by the cyanide (eg., glycolysis), and you must explain why this results in quick death. c.  You and your partner decide to test the effects of cyanide on a culture of bacteria that are obligate fermenters.  To your surprise, the bacteria aren’t killed by the cyanide.  Why not?  (2 points)

You are helping your younger cousins with their history lessons, and come across accounts of how prior to the advent of antibiotics, physicians would deliberately infect syphilis (bacterial infection) patients with the malaria protozoan to induce a high fever.  Surprisingly, this was often effective, and the physicians would then use quinine to cure the malaria. Using the information you have learned for this exam, briefly explain to your cousins how this would work.  That is, what part of bacterial cell functioning would be affected by the higher temperature, and why? Note:  while degrading cytoplasmic membranes would certainly kill the syphilis bacterium, it would also kill the patients.  So, this is not a viable answer.
