GMO stands for a genetically modified organism. 

This means that scientists genetically engineer an organism, usually to change it or take its best trait from it to create a new organism that is more efficient.
An example is growing crops. Scientists may take two crops, one that is highly nutritious and the other that is drought resistant. Genetically engineering them to form a new plant will create a GMO - that will most likely be highly nutritious and also drought resistant - thus two good qualities from two different plants were taken and modified to be in the one plant.

GMO is a very clever and sufficient way for farming as they can grow stronger and won't as easily die and shrivel away. However, they can also be dangerous to eat since they've undergone genetic modification.

Hope this helps.

Why will salivary amylase not break down protein
Free_Kalibri [48]
Salivary amylase is an enzyme that is found in saliva in the mouth. It is an enzyme that only recognizes the glycosidic bonds between molecules of simple sugars that form the carbohydrate polymers. It specifically targets these bonds and breaks them and does not recognize any other bonds of different substances such as protein. Salivary amylase is alkaline in nature and cannot work in the stomach. It breaks the glycosidic bonds between the glucose molecules in starch to form maltose. Maltose is later broken down further by pancreatic amylase, into individual units of glucose.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

There are two processes used by viruses to replicate: the lytic cycle and lysogenic cycle. Some viruses reproduce using both methods, while others only use the lytic cycle. In the lytic cycle, the virus attaches to the host cell and injects its DNA.
