Best Answer

It all depends on the pesticide which organelle is targeted. Organophosphates inhibit AChE. This is made by protein synthesis and excreted by the cell as a neurotransmitter. The organelle involved is the ribosome as it is not making AChE.

Aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides that inhibit acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) which inhibits the beginning of the Krebs Cycle and so prevents the function of the mitochondria.

Miprophos-methyl, another pesticide is a mitotic tubuleinhibitor. It blocks cell division.
