Answer:

due to gmos we can expand the shelf life of many of our foods and prevent them from the harm of pests. You night be rhinking why not use pesticides? well, we did but eventually the pests became immune to the low dose of pesticide. over time we gradually increased our uses of pesticides. more commonly round up. this pesticide specifically was known for being a carcinogen. (something that causes cancer.) Genetically modifying a crop can severely decrease the amount of pesticides used for our crops and could also potentially drop the prices. for example, in hawaii during the 1940s to 1990s the ringspot viruses hit the hawaiian papaya harvest hard. this reduced the amount of papaya produced by 50 percent by 1993 and 2006. the ringspot virus nearly wiped out the entire crop. within 11 months, the hawaiian papya was saved. due to gmos of course. this is because scientists took genes from immune papayas which very rarelt occured (at the time) and injected it into many other papya plants. as the plants grew, new papaya was produced which was immine to ringspit virus. PAPAYA WAS SAVED!!!!

Answer: Ascorbase a form of ascorbate, a drug used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes which acts to inhibit maltase a membrane bound enzyme that completes the digestion of starch in the human body.this inhibition is done through;

- By preventing substrates from binding to the active site therefore forming few enzyme complex substrates.

- it also inhibits the enzymes by binding to the active sites of that enzyme.

- it also does so by reacting slowly and also because it has a complementary shape to the active site of the enzyme maltase.

How does a virus cause disease?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Viruses are like hijackers. They invade living, normal cells and use those cells to multiply and produce other viruses like themselves. This can kill, damage, or change the cells and make you sick. Different viruses attack certain cells in your body such as your liver, respiratory system, or blood.

Explanation:

Viruses tend to target specific tissues (cells) in the host.

For example, the influenza virus has a predilection for the respiratory tract, hepatitis viruses target the liver, polio virus targets the motor neurons of the spinal cord and rotavirus multiplies in the gut. Symptoms of a viral infection may be subtle and nonspecific or specific and suggestive of the causative agent.

Dengue virus, Ross river virus, measles and rubella infections are associated with fever and a widespread red rash, chicken pox and herpes simplex viruses are associated with blistering, often localized, rashes; and hepatitis viruses cause liver damage and jaundice.

Bacteria tend to be less tissue-specific and non-discriminatory than viruses and can cause a variety of infections once they have invaded the host.

These bacterial infections are often manifested by the presence of pus wherever the bacteria settle, and systemic symptoms such as fevers, chills, pain, swelling and loss of function occur when bacteria invade and multiply.
