Which Kind of Metabolic Poison Would Interfere with the Glycolysis

Question

Which kind of metabolic poison would interfere with the glycolysis stage of cellular respiration?
A) An agent that binds to lactate and inactivates it
B) An agent that reacts with oxygen and depletes its concentration in the cell
C) An agent that inhibits the formation of acetyl CoA
D) An agent that reacts with FADH2and oxidizes FAD+
E) An agent that closely mimics the structure of glucose but is not capable of being metabolized and broken down

Accepted Answer

An agent that mimics glucose but cannot be metabolized would interfere with glycolysis by preventing the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate, effectively halting the process.
