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.

suppose you cross a true breeding blue flower with a true breeding yellow flower. in the next generation, all of the flowers are
Leni [432]

A true-breeding specimen seems to be homozygous, thus, the blue color flowers must exhibit the genotype BB and the yellow ones must have possessed the genotype YY.  

In the given case, when one crosses a flower with genotype BB and other with genotype YY, all the offspring will be BY. As in the next generation, all the flowers appear blue, thus, the blue allele must be dominant.

If the moon were to suddenly disappear, which of the following would be a likely result? (Select all that apply)
solniwko [45]

Answer:

A. Fishing for sea life that lives on or near the shore would be more difficult.

C. The California Grunion fish would have a hard time laying eggs.

Explanation:

The moon is an important aspect of Earth's existence. It influences the change of "ocean tides" <em>(high tide and low tide)</em>. If the moon were to suddenly disappear<em> it will present a number of problems. </em>

Firstly, the tides would<u> all remain the same</u><em> (small tides)</em>. They would also be <em>smaller </em>than the usual tide in the world today. Since the tide will be lower than usual, <u>the marine organisms will not survive living on or near the shore anymore. </u>This will make fishing for sea life in these areas more difficult.

The "California Grunion fish" normally lays its eggs along the <em>coastal areas,</em> which is <em>out of the water.</em> If the tide will be lower than usual, then they will have a hard time going to the coastlines for laying eggs.

So, this explains the answers.
