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!

Ksju [112]
Isocitrate + NAD+ -> a-ketoglutarate + CO2 + H2

The amount of ATP produced from one molecule of glucose will decrease because NADH is no longer produced in the isocitrate dehydrogenase reaction. Without generation of this high energy electron carrier there will be less electrons from one molecule of glucose that are transferred to and through the electron transport chain. So there will be less protons (H+ ions) pumped into the intermembrane space. So there will be less of a H+ ion gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane to drive the synthesis of ATP by ATP synthase.
