Genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) have included corn crops engineered to produce a natural pesticide to kill a certain insec

t which would normally destroy the corn. The benefits include a larger corn crop, because the destructive influence of the insects is lowered. What might be one negative result of growing this specific GMO? A. The natural pesticide could get into the soil and kill the next corn crop. B. The genetically-modified corn would require more water to produce enough pesticide to fend off the insects. C. The insects could grow resistant to the pesticide in the genetically-modified corn and become immune to regular pesticides. D. All of the insects could disappear, allowing the corn crop to grow too large.

The correct answer is option C, that is, the insects could grow resistant to the pesticide in the genetically-modified corn and become immune to regular pesticides.  

The genetically modified organisms are usually developed to be more resistant to pesticides or produce pesticides themselves. The GM crops do not have monarch butterflies or honeybees. However, the insects that consume genetically modified crops can, in some of the circumstances, begins to establish a resistance to the protein that usually kills them.

The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine during sympathetic stimulation. Why epinephrine would increase the sympathetic response
user100 [1]

Answer: Because epinephrine activates the fight or flight response, related to the sympathethic response in the body.

Explanation:

The function of the Autonomic Nervous System is the regulation of the system cardiovascular, digestion, respiration, body temperature, metabolism, exocrine glands, and therefore keep the internal environment constant (homeostasis). While sympathetic activity increases in stress, the activity parasympathetic predominates during rest and satiety. The adrenal medulla originates from the neural crest and is composed of neuroendocrine specialized cells and are responsible for the production of catecholamines.

Catecholamines are dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline (epinephrine and norepinephrine). Epinephrine prepares muscles, lungs, and heart for more intense activity, in situations of stress. It promotes the increase in the force of contraction in the muscles and increases in the heart rate. It also leads to increased blood pressure and bronchodilation, for greater availability of O2.
