You are a farmer who has been noticing that many of your crops are getting destroyed as a result of pests. You hear about a new
quester [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

the advantages include:

disease and drought resistant crops that require fewer environmental resources for them to grow

higher yields harvested as the crops are not attacked by pests resulting in humans receiving more food as well as generating more money from the trading of their crops

increased supply of food at a cheaper life and the crops could have a longer shelf life

crops bound to be healthy as they ae not constantly treated by pesticides that could harm people

reduce the use of pesticides that might be a great move for the betterment of the food supply

they reduce the use of toxins that could harm the environment as well as the animals and people

disadvantages

unexpected or harmful genetic changes that could result in humans health being threatened

the process of genetically modifying the crops is quite expensive

due to the plants becoming pest resistant the pests are bound to have no food hence could die leading to some helpful pests such as beetles or ladybugs that actually benefit the environment going extinct

the production of genetically modified crops results in the disruption of biodiversity as you are favouring one specific organism hence resulting in the disruption of the natural gene flow

the crops are modified hence biotech foods may be a threat to the human health

What statement does NOT pertain to the cephalic phase of gastric secretion? (It controls the rate at which chyme enters the smal
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

It controls the rate at which chyme enters the small intestine

Explanation:

Cephalic phase is one of the phase of gastric secretion (other two are gastric phase and intestinal phase) that begins even before food enters the oral cavity. Thinking of food stimulates the release of gastric juice via  parasympathetic nervous system). Food that enters the stomach also stimulates the secretion of gastric juice by parietal cells. Partially digested food directly activates  G cells (Enteroendocrine cells) to secrete gastrin which also stimulates the release of gastric juice.

when algae lives on a slth it is consirered a mutual symbiotic relationship. why is this an exampkle of mutualism
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Algae living on a sloth is considered an example of mutualism because both of them benefit from each other.

Mutualism is one of the symbiotic relationships in which both the two species living together benefit in one way or another. A considerable example of such a relationship is between algae and a sloth.

The algae provide camouflage to the sloth and protect it from predators while the sloth provides shelter to the algae for its growth. The sloth also gets nutrition from algae which perform photosynthesis and synthesize food.

Another mutual relationship is observed between the aphids and ants. Aphids produce honeydew as a waste product of their diet which is consumed by ants. While ants protect the aphids from predators and parasites.

To know more about mutualism, refer to the following link:
