Which kind of metabolic poison would most directly interfere with glycolysis? (A) an agent that reacts with oxygen and depletes its concentration in the cell (B) an agent that binds to pyruvate and inactivates it (C) an agent that closely mimics the structure of glucose but is not metabolized (D) an agent that reacts with NADH and oxidizes it to NAD⁺.

The kind of metabolic poison that would most directly interfere with glycolysis will be (C) an agent that closely mimics the structure of glucose but is not metabolized.

Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose. Glucose is the main type of sugar utilized by the body. The mend product pf this breakdown is pyruvate which further participates for the cellular respiration to take place.

An agent that will closely resemble to the structure of glucose will be mistaken by the cellular machinery as glucose itself. This will result in no production of ATP and NADH at the end. The complete cellular respiration will be affected as a result.
