Answer:
(A) It prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time.
(B) It also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, these is alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered.
(C) Rotenone only prevent electron transfer into the chain at Complex 1 but it does not affect electron transfer at Complex II. Although there is slow ETC, it does not stop completely. However, Antimycin A prevents the oxidation of QH2, the final electron acceptor crom complex I and complex II. Thereby, stopping the production of both ETC and ATP. It can be concluded that antimycin A is a more potent poison.
Explanation:
Rotenone prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to a reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time. Antimycin A also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, there is an alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered. Antimycin A is more potent than rotenone.
Answer: It helps to regulate circadian rhythm
Exposure to natural light during the day helps regulate the circadian
rhythm, which improves sleep pattern. The term circadian rhythm refers to our
biochemical, physiological and behavioral processes in approximately 1 full day
cycle. Circadian rhythm plays an
important role in
controlling when we fall asleep and when we wake up.
During day light, the secretion of melatonin or sleep hormone is
suppress by melanopsin that keeps people awake and alert. Nevertheless, during nighttime,
melanopsin stimulates the release of melatonin to signal sleeping time. Therefore,
this hormone works the entire day and has direct effect on the circadian
rhythm, which acts as a regulator of our biological clock.
Both a and b is an example of population increase of favored organisms.
