AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which complex of the Electron Transport System (ETS) is inhibited by cyanide. 2. **Identifying the Complexes**: The Electron Transport System consists of several complexes: - Complex I - Complex II - Complex III - Complex IV - Complex V 3. **Analyzing Inhibitors**: - Complex II is inhibited by oxaloacetate. - Complex V is inhibited by IF1. - Complex III is inhibited by antimycin A. - Complex IV is the focus of our question. 4. **Cyanide's Role**: Cyanide is known to specifically inhibit Complex IV of the Electron Transport Chain. It does this by binding to the cytochrome c oxidase, which is part of Complex IV, preventing the transfer of electrons to oxygen. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the information, the correct answer to the question is Complex IV, as it is the complex inhibited by cyanide. **Final Answer**: Complex IV ---
