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.

What are the two processes used by producers to obtain energy
MariettaO [177]
Answer;
The two processes used by producers to obtain energy are photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.

Explanation; 
Producers are those organisms that can make their own energy in an ecosystem using biochemical processes. These biochemical processes are photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.
Photosynthesis involves use of energy from the sunlight together with water and oxygen to make simple sugars. The process converts solar energy to chemical energy (simple sugars). 
Chemosynthesis involves use of chemicals as the energy source, rather than sunlight , to make simple sugars such as glucose. 
Glucose from both processes is then used for respiration to generate energy or stored in form of starch.

identify the metabolic pathway or reaction based on the products produced :4ATP+4Hydrogen ions, 24 Hydrogen ions, 1 ATP+8 Hydrog
Phoenix [80]

The metabolic pathway based on products produced is ;

  • 4 ATP and 4 Hydrogen ions

The product 4 ATP + 4 Hydrogen ions is formed through a metabolic pathway ( glycolysis ) whereby glucose is oxidized to obtain ATP.

A metabolic pathway is series/chain of chemical reactions feeding each other and occurring mostly in living organisms. A common example of a metabolic pathway is the breaking down of glucose in human body ( glycolysis ).

Hence we can conclude that the metabolic pathway based on products produced is 4 ATP +  4 Hydrogen ions.

Skeletal muscle fibers Select one: a. possess striations. b. can contract but are not extensible or excitable. c. do not require
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Possess striations. (Option A)

Explanation:

Skeletal muscle fibers are known as the type of striated muscle tissues and the somatic nervous system helps to control them. With the help of the bundle of collagen fibers which is called tendons, skeletal muscle cells attached to the bones.

Skeletal muscles are cylindrical and long in structure. While seeing under the microscope they have striated, and this striation occurs by the presence of actin, and myosin contractile proteins. Some functions of Skeletal muscle fibers are:

1) They help in contraction, and cellular physiology.

2) They help in signal transduction pathways.

Dna is made of repeating units of building blocks called
Ksju [112]

Answer:

DNA is made of repeating units of building blocks called nucleotides.

Explanation:

There are four nucleotides in the DNA, the guanine and thymine, adenine and cytosine. Guanine binds with cytosine and adenine binds with thymine.

These nucleotides are made of deoxyribose sugar that binds to a phosphate and a nitrogenous base.
