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.

masha68 [24]
The answer is D, for when one tropic level is eaten by the tropic level above it, the tropic level is supporting the higher one. I. E. Rabbits are supported by the grass because rabbits eat the grass. Also, the grass population would be larger than rabbits, the rabbits larger than snakes, so on and so forth, so B is ruled out. B states that each population is larger than the one BEFORE it, but there is no way there would be more rabbits than grass. Also, there are both herbivores and carnivores in the food chain, so A and C are out. The best answer is D.
