Question

A pesticide that kills an insect by interfering with

the production of proteins in the insect would
most directly affect the activity of
(1) ribosomes (3) chloroplasts
(2) minerals (4) mitochondria

Answer 1

The answer is (1) ribosomes. The ribosomes are crucial in the protein synthesis. The chloroplasts is responsible for photosynthesis. The mitochondrial is responsible for cell respiration. Minerals can be interacted in many activities.

Answer 2

Answer;

Ribosomes;

Step-by-step explanation;

Ribosomes are organelles that are found inside a cell attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or freely suspended in the cytoplasm.

The are responsible for the process of translation which synthesis proteins in the cell.

Therefore; a pesticide that kills an insect by interfering with

the production of proteins in the insect would

most directly affect the activity of ribosomes.
