If citrate levels are high in the cell, but ATP levels are low, what do you think will happen in the cell?

A. Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle will both be inhibited, thus under these conditions there will be no mechanism to generate ATP.
B. The electron transport chain will be inhibited, causing a build-up of NADH and FADH2. This will inhibit the Krebs cycle, but in the presence of glucose, glycolysis will still run coupled with fermentation to regenerate NAD+.
C. In the presence of glucose, glycolysis will run to generate energy for the cell, but the Krebs cycle will be inhibited.
D. Glycolysis will be inhibited, but the Krebs cycle will be functional, allowing it to be utilized to breakdown acetyl-CoA generated from beta-oxidation.

A researcher notices that in a certain moth species, some females prefer to feed and lay eggs on domesticated solanaceous plants like potatoes and tomatoes. Other females prefer to feed and lay eggs on wild solanaceous plants like Datura. Both male and female moths primarily use scent to find these plants from afar. Females tend to mate where they feed, and the researcher finds a genetic basis for scent preference in these moths. Based on the above information, what might be occurring in this moth species?

A) divergence in sympatry B) divergence due to habitat fragmentation C) postzygotic isolation D) polyploidization
