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.

Which activity would most likely cause a rapid breakdown of glucose molecules? A. A seagull gliding though the air B. A duck res
masya89 [10]

D.

Glucose is energy, which means it breaks down when energy is consumed. When a fox consumes it's pray, a seagull glides trough the air and a duck rests on a pond, not much glucose is consumed.

Energy is used when physical effort is necessary, and running from a predator, requires a lot of energy.

Lysosomes are organelles enclosed at the membrane, they contain series of enzymes that digest or breakdown all types of biological polymers such as lipids, protein, nucleic acid and carbohydrates. Also, lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell by degrading materials taken up from outside the cell.

In what way is surface area more important for cells than volume?
Virty [35]

Answer:

As a cell grows in size, the surface area gets bigger, but the volume gets bigger faster. Thinking about this as a ratio (division), the volume is the denominator and the surface area is the numerator. If the volume is getting very big, then the ratio itself will be getting very small.
