tps/onlinelearning.hms.harvard.edu/courses/course-v1:HMX+BCM+2018,04 PCR/courseware/7eed5a894d1b4175acc5da7a49fe2b85/0ae5d02a6a4046b8a Rotenone is a commonly used insecticide (poison that kills insects) that inhibits the electron transport chain by preventing complex I from passing electrons to coenzyme Q. What redox states would you expect to observe in the ETC of mitochondria in insects poisoned with rotenone relative to healthy insects? Drag and drop the correct redox state next to the correct molecule(s). For this question, assume that NADH is the sole source of electrons entering the electron transport chain. Note: each answer may be used once, more than once or not at all. Cyt C

Explanation / Answer

Since, complex II only receive electrons in form of FADH2 And then pass it to coenzyme but here only NAPH is the source of electron carrier shown, I the diagram then complex I will accept the electron from NADP and remain oxidized

COMPLE X I WILL BE OXIDIZED AND COMPLEX II WILL BE REDUCED
