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.

Based on the information in the graph, which blood type is most likely to be in shortest supply during an emergency?
Maksim231197 [3]
While there is no graph provided and I cannot find the graph online, I will base my answer through theory. 

In theory, the most common blood type is O+, followed by A+, then B+, then AB+. Rh negative blood is deemed to be rare. While the most common blood type is O+, the same blood type is also called the "universal donor" as a type O+ blood has no antigens attached in red blood cells therefore the probability of adverse reactions (i.e. hemolytic reactions) when transfused to other blood types are close to nil. In an emergency situation, wherein there is not enough time to do proper crossmatching, blood type O+ can be used therefore supplies of blood type O+ are easily depleted.
