PLEASE HELP ME

For each molecule of glucose, glycolysis only makes 2 ATP, the Krebs cycle only makes 2 ATP and the ETC makes 34 ATP. If the suspects had given Jared the 2-deoxyglucose poison, would the decrease in ATP concentration be smaller, the same or larger as when they used cyanide? Explain your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

2-deoxyglucose poison has its effects during glycolysis, which only produces 2 ATP, while Cyanide takes place during ETC which produces 34. If given the 2-deoxyglucose poison this would stunt the rest of the process very early on, so much so that no ATP could have been produced. So the ATP concentration would have decreased if given the other poison.
