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 molecule. Insects exposed to rotenone will die because
they will no longer be able to produce adequate amounts of ATP. T/F

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Rotenone is a broad spectrum pesticide and insecticide and is also considered as a non-selective piscicide.

The action mechanism of the rotenone has been described below -

It interferes with the electron transport chain which occurs in mitochondria of the cells. Here the transfer of electrons from complex I to the ubiquinone is inhibited by the rotenone. As a result, ATP formation with the help of NADH is also inhibited. When electron transport fails, oxygen in the cell is reduced to oxygen radical which further damages DNA and other components present in the mitochondria.

How is the process of natural selection involved in evolution?
Ann [662]
Natural selection means that the organisms better adapted to their environment, that is, they have developed the right characteristics/skills/response to the external ambient, have higher chance to survive, making the next generations genetically inherit such acquired surviving characteristics.
These generations will thus have a higher chance of survival, making these species being "naturally selected" as survivors, while those who haven't or are slower in this process, have a higher risk of elimination.
