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.

Transcription in bacteria differs from transcription in a eukaryotic cell because __________________________. (a) RNA polymerase
Serggg [28]

The correct answer is: (a) RNA polymerase (along with its sigma subunit) can initiate transcription on its own.

More differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription:

• In prokaryotes transcription occurs in the cytoplasm (unlike in eukaryotes in nucleus) and it is simultaneous with translation,

• In prokaryotes there is only one type of RNA polymerase (in eukaryotes there are three types of them).

• There is no sigma subunit in eukaryotes, the initiation of transcription begins thanks to initiation factors.

• Promoter region in prokaryotes contains pribnow box, while in eukaryotes it contains TATA and CAT box.
