Answer: The muskrat population will be adversely affected as it feed on oak trees.

Explanation:

The muskrat is a medium sized rodent native to the North America and in some parts of Europe, South America and Asia.

These are found in wetland and is a semiaquatic animal. These small animals feed on oak trees. If a disease affects the oak trees in the area then the population of Muskrat will be decreased.

Either they will start depending on some other food else they will die due to scarcity of food.

Muskrats eat oak trees and if the oak tree had a disease and all of them died. then the muskrat would have to relie on someething else to eat because muskrats eat oak trees.

Answer:

Electron transport inhibitors: Cyanide, Rotenone

Uncoupling agents: trifluorocarbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone (FCCP)(FCCP)

ATP synthase inhibitors: Oligomycin

Transport inhibitors: Bongkrekic acid

Explanation:

Electron transport inhibitors: Cyanide, Rotenone

Cytochrome oxidase also known as complex IV in the electron transport chain, carries electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen. It is a large enzyme having 13 subunits. Subunit 1 contains two heme groups , a and a3. Electrons are tranferred from heme a to oxygen bound to heme a3. The reaction of cyanide with heme a3 blocks this process of eleron transport

.Rotenone blocks electron transfer at NADH dehydrogenase (NAD−Q(NAD−Q oxidoreductase) by preventing electron transfer from Fe-S center to ubiquinone.

Uncoupling agents: trifluorocarbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone (FCCP)(FCCP)

The transfer of electrons from NADH through the respiratory chain to molecularoxygen is coupled to proton pumping from the inner mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space. This generates a proton motive force which is utilized in ATP synthesis. Trifluorocarbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone (FCCP)(FCCP) increases membrane proton permeability, causing protons to leak back into the mitochondrial matrix, thereby uncoupling the processs of ATP synthesis and proton flux.

ATP synthase inhibitors: Oligomycin

ATP synthase is the enzyme rensponsible for ATP synthesis. It has two functional domains,: F₁ and F₀. Oligomycin binds to F₀ and blocks the proton channel preventing rotation of the F₁ subuni, thus, preventing ATP synthesis from ADP.

Transport inhibitors: Bongkrekic acid

Adenine nucleotide translocase is a transport protein that transports free ADP from the cytoplasm into the mitochondrial matrix, while ATP produced from oxidative phosphorylation is transported from the mitochondrial matrix to the cytoplasm o the cell.

Bongkrekic acid inhibits Adenine nucleotide translocase, thus preventing ATP from leaving the mitochondria and starving cells of needed energy.
