Answer:

Option B, A decrease in crop diversity.

Explanation:

The genetic diversity will decrease because  genetically modified crop with improvised trait will be a dominant species among all and hence in long run it will overrun all other species of crop which get affected by weed killers. Genetic material of genetically modified crops (GM) will subside the expression of any other genetic trait, thereby limiting the variation in the offspring in coming generation.

Hence, option B is correct

B. A decrease in crop diversity is an environmental concern. Weed killers will wipe out other strains of crop leaving only the engineered resistant type.

Answer:

high clean-energy startup costs

Explanation:

Protecting the environment means improving its sustainability and reducing pollution to the barest minimal. This utterly means terminating every activity that contributes to pollution in the environment, including the source of energy. The most widely used source of energy is the non-renewable source e.g. coal, fuel, etc.

These source of energy, however, release pollutants in form of greenhouse gases, into the environment. One way to eliminate the use of non-renewable source of energy is to adopt the use of renewable sources e.g. solar energy, wind etc. However, one major setback to doing this is the high production cost involved.

Although these sources of energy (renewable) are referred to as green or clean, but they have really expensive startup costs and are unaffordable most times.

What does it mean to move UP the concentration gradient?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Moving against the concentration gradient, or in simpler terms, moving from a low-concentration area to a high-concentration area.

Explanation:

This action uses energy, as according to entropy, the substance will move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration, and cells have to put extra energy to pump the molecules / substance up the concentration gradient.

It is mostly used to trigger chemical responses in cells, like in neuron synapses.
