Assertion: Cyanide poisoning is a form of histotoxic hypoxia.
Reason: Cyanide binds to iron of cytochrome c oxidase and thus prevents binding of oxygen to hemoglobin.

Assertion: Homolactic fermentation (producing only lactic acid) is the simplest type of fermentation.
Reason: It is one of the only respiration processes to not produce a gas as a byproduct.

Assertion: Fermentation is an extension of glycolysis that can generate ATP by substrate level phosphorylation as long as a sufficient supply of NAD⁺ is available.
Reason: NAD⁺ is an oxidizing agent in involved in glycolysis.

Assertion: If citrate accumulates in mitochondria, ATP production is slowed down.
Reason: When this happens, some citrate passes into the cytosol and inhibits phosphofructokinase.

Assertion: When a glucose fed yeast is transferred from aerobic to anaerobic medium its rate of glucose consumption decreases.
Reason: It starts metabolizing lactose and stops using glucose in anaerobic conditions.
