Rotenone is an insecticide that is not toxic to plants, but is highly toxic to fish and insects. (it will also kill mammals, but it doesn’t easily get into our cells). When Rotenone is added to cells in vitro, ATP production stops, oxygen is no longer reduced and NADH builds up. Based on these results, explain what is a possible mechanism of action for Rotenone?
