Question

g Atrazine is an herbicide that is commonly used to control weeds in corn, sorghum, and sugarcane fields. Atrazine is a six membered heterocyclic ring with nitrogen at positions 2, 4, and 6. Carbon 1 is single bonded to chlorine. Carbon 3 is single bonded to an N H group which is single bonded to C H 2, C H 3. Carbon 5 is single bonded to N H which is single bonded to a carbon single bonded to two methyl groups. Atrazine Atrazine binds at the Q B site of the D2 subunit, blocking electron flow from Q A to Q B , competing with Q B for the binding site on D2. Identify the statements inferred from this information.

Answer 1

Answer:

Using a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ... a mercapturic acid conjugate of atrazine /was identified/ as the major metabolite in the urine of applicators. Minor metabolites included N-dealkylated and N-deisopropyl atrazines. No di-dealkylated metabolites were identified, as they would have been expected to degrade during storage, and no hydroxylated conjugates were detected.
