The document summarizes the regulation of glycolysis and cyanide resistant respiration. There are three major control points in glycolysis - hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase. Cyanide resistant respiration occurs in some plant mitochondria and allows respiration to continue in the presence of cyanide through the use of an alternative oxidase enzyme. This pathway produces heat, aids in fruit ripening, and helps with osmoregulation.

Regulation of glycolysis and Cyanide resistance respiration
7. It is a respiratory pathway occuring only in
mitochondria of some plants .
This mechanism is not found in animals.
The respiration resistant to cyanide is
connected with the presence in the respiratory
chain of an additional terminal oxidase(AOX)
10. Cyanide resistant respiration refers to the ability
of certain organisms to survive in environments
containing cyanide. This resistance in often
attributed to alternative oxidases , an enzymes
that bypass the cyanide sensitive step of the
electron transport chain . By maintaining
respiration in cyanide –rich environments, these
organisms can continue to generate energy and
survive.
