Rotenone is a poison commonly added to insecticides. Rotenone binds tightly with one of the electron carrier molecules in the el

ectron transport chain, preventing electrons from passing to the next carrier molecle. Insects exposed to rotenone will die because
A) they will no longer be able to perform anerobic respiration.
B) high levels of fermentation products will build up in their bodies.
C) they will no longer be able to produce adequate amounts of ATP.
D) they will no longer be able to absorb water and will become dehydrated.

Answer:

The correct answer is A they will no longer be able to perform aerobic respiration.

Explanation:

Rotenone is an isoflavonid compound which act an inhibitor of electron transport chain in mitochondria.Rotenone generally blocks the transfer of electrons from from NADH CoQ dehydrogenase or complex 1 to ubiquinone.

   As electron transport is blocked the reduced coenzymes such as NADH,FADH2 are unable to be oxidized.

 As a result cells exposed to rotenone will no longer be able to perform aerobic respiration.

For each cross, describe whether genetics or temperature determines the sex of progeny produced from eggs incubated at 35 degree
goldenfox [79]

<u>Answer and Explanation</u>:

In reptiles, there are two mechanisms of sex determination:

-Genetic mechanisms, determined at the fertilization moment

-Environmental mechanisms, which are temperature-dependent.

Temperature is an environmental factor that affects different processes in organisms at a molecular level, biochemical level, or physiological level. In reptiles such as lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, among other, temperature influences their embryonary development, their growth, daily activities, reproduction rate, sex determination, and etc.

In lizards, it occurs that whenever eggs are incubated at low temperatures, between 22 º and 27ºC, they produce a higher percentage of males, while eggs exposed to higher temperatures, 30ºC and above, produce more females. There are only a few degrees of temperature at which exposed eggs produce males and females equally.

The importance of knowing the mechanism of organisms´ sex determination lies in how climate change may be affecting wild populations due to fluctuations in temperature.

In the exposed example, the first cross between ZZ males and ZW females, genetics is the mechanism that determines the sex of progeny produced from eggs incubated at 24 and 35 degrees celsius. While in the second cross between ZZmales and ZZ females, temperature determines the sex of progeny produced from eggs incubated at 24 and 35 degrees celsius. This is, eggs exposed to temperatures below 28ºC will produce only males, so there won't be any female in the progeny. But eggs incubated at 30ºC and over will produce females, as shown in the table.

47. This cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships among some mammals
Fed [463]

Complete question:

This cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships among some mammals based on  homologous structures.

(You will find the cladogram in the attached files)

Which statement is supported by this cladogram?

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales.

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

Answer:

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

Explanation:  

A cladogram is a branched diagram of characteristics shared by the organisms of a group, that represents the most probable evolutive history of the linage. Cladograms reflect the phylogenetic relationships among groups through phylogenetic trees.

In the phylogenetic tree, the taxonomic groups of interest are located in the extremes of the lines called branches. The ramification point, which is also called "node" or divergence point, represents the location of the most recent common ancestor.

The common ancestor position will determine how related are two species. If they have a recent common ancestor, they are closely related to each other. On the other hand, if the common ancestor is not recent and is located far away in the tree, then the two species will be less related to each other.  

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas. TRUE. Hippopotamuses share a common more recent ancestor with cows than with javelinas. This means that the hyppopotamus is more related to cows than to javelinas. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Cows, and the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Javelinas.  

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses. FALSE. Tooth whales are more related to the hyppopotamus. Their common ancestor is more recent than the common ancestor between toothed whales and mouse deer. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestors.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales. FALSE. They are equally related.  

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

FALSE. They are equally related.

Can any kind soul help me ASAP ​
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

9- C

cellulose strengthens the cell walls present in a plant

enzymes and antibodies are made of proteins

water is the universal solvent.

10- C, all 3

1- cytoplasm contains about 85% of water, which helps in movement within the cells.

2- urine contains 95% of water, and it dissolve urea and salts in it.

3- plasma contains 90% of water, so we can say that water allows transportation of substances in the blood.

What is a radical in biology ?? ​
melamori03 [73]

Answer:A radical (often, but unnecessarily called a free radical) is an atom or group of atoms that have one or more unpaired electrons. ... A prominent feature of radicals is that they have extremely high chemical reactivity, which explains not only their normal biological activities, but how they inflict damage on cells.
