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 downside to this mutant corn wohld be that it would give rise to a presticide-immune strain of the certain insect.

All the non-immune bugs would die, leaving the few immune ones to reproduce. That would result in a overpopulation of immune super-bug that would still be able to go ham on the large, GMO corn, like nothing happened, and still go on to affect native plant populations. That can become a huge problem.

Hope that helped!

Products of glycolysis include:
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: c. 2 pyruvate molecules

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first step it the cell respiration cycle. It turns one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate by a series of reactions catalyzed by different enzymes.

It starts by using 2 ATP to turn glucose into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, which then divides in two and releases 4 ATP when it turns into two pyruvate molecules.

Thus glycolysis consumes 2 ATP and releases 4 ATP (giving a net gain of 2 ATP) and 2 pyruvate molecules.

What makes the structure of Carbon so unique? Why is Carbon considered the building block of all life? (3 sentence minimum answe
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The carbon atom has unique properties that allow it to form covalent bonds to as many as four different atoms, making this versatile element ideal to serve as the basic structural component, or “backbone,” of the macromolecules.

All living things contain carbon in some form. Carbon is the primary component of macromolecules, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Carbon's molecular structure allows it to bond in many different ways and with many different elements.

what is the subdivision of the peripheral nervous system that connects to sensory receptors and to skeletal muscles called
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The somatic nervous system

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system is categorized into two types: the autonomic and somatic nervous system.

The somatic nervous system controls the voluntary actions of the boys so is also known as the voluntary nervous system and the voluntary system involves the skeletal muscles therefore is also known as the skeletal nervous system.

The skeletal nervous system contains two types of neurons called the afferent neurons which carries the sensory input from the muscle to the CNS ans the efferent neurons which brings the impulse from the CNS to the muscles.

Thus, the somatic nervous system is the correct answer.

Which feature is found in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells? A. nucleus B. plasma membrane C. nucleoid D. cytoplasm
Ronch [10]
The answer is A. - Prokatyotic cells lack a defined nucleus while eukaryotic cells do have one :) I loved learning about the cells in biology! But I noticed your question is worded a little differently so the nucleus would be the one thing a eukaryotic cell has that a prokatyotic cell does not...

What is the relationship of NADP and NADPH?
Lynna [10]
NADPH is the reduced form of NADP+. This simply means that NADPH has an extra hydrogen ion. NADPH is formed when upon the reduction of NADP+ . NADP stands for nicotine amide dinucleotide phosphate. It is a coenzyme that is involved in a wide range of anabolic reactions. During the synthesis of carbohydrates in plants, NADPH acts as a reducing agent, likewise in the synthesis of nucleic acids and lipids. As a reduced compound, NADPH becomes a molecule with high energy thus being especially useful in driving the Calvin cycle.
