Can someone explain how and why this works?

A team of researchers has isolated a


chemical from a tropical tree that causes


insects to die when they ingest it. The


researchers determine that the chemical


deactivates the enzyme RNA polymerase.


This chemical likely causes the insects to


die by interfering directly with:Can someone explain how and why this works?
well if RNA polymerase is deactivated, then protein synthesis cannot occur. this has major effects like halting cell division and enzyme productionCan someone explain how and why this works?
what should i explain? how the insects died?
First responder is correct. The effects would be similar to those of a massive dose of radiation: the gut cells, which multiply rapidly, would stop doing so and the creature would starve.
The Lord becomes angry with the insects when they eat from the Tropical Tree. The Lord smites the insects.





LOL.
