Cyanide? Really? I doubt the exam would try to trick us like that. Arachidonic acid is definitely the precursor we're looking for. This question is pretty straightforward, if you ask me.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards C as well. Arachidonic acid is the key player here. Although, I wonder if cyanide could somehow be involved in leukotriene synthesis - you know, as a way to keep us on our toes!

Nah, I don't think it's prostaglandins. Leukotrienes and prostaglandins are separate classes of eicosanoids, so the precursor would be arachidonic acid, not prostaglandins.

I'm not so sure about that. Couldn't it be D) Prostaglandins? They're also derived from arachidonic acid, and they're related to inflammation and immune responses.

I agree, C is the correct answer. Arachidonic acid is the precursor that gets metabolized by lipoxygenase enzymes to form leukotrienes.

Hmm, this is an interesting question. I think the answer is C) Arachidonic acid. Leukotrienes are produced from arachidonic acid, which is a precursor that gets converted into these inflammatory mediators.
