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.

Setler [38]

Answer:

e. unique three-dimensional shape of the fully folded polypeptide.

Explanation:

The tertiary structure of a protein is the unique three-dimensional structure which emanates from the interaction between the “R groups” of the several amino acids that make up the polypeptide. Hydrogen bonding is one of the interactions that occur that gives the protein this structure. Other interactions are ionic bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, hydrophobic interactions, among others. The function of a protein is dependent on its tertiary structure, as a disruption of the tertiary structure causes a protein to be denatured, thereby rendering the protein not functional.
