Answer: This is an opinion question so I will give you the facts so you can form your own opinion for this answer.

Explanation:

<u>PRO GMO:</u>

Manufacturers use genetic modification to give foods desirable traits. For example, they have designed two new varieties of apple that turn less brown when cut or bruised.

The reasoning usually involves making crops more resistant to diseases as they grow. Manufacturers also engineer produce to be more nutritious or tolerant of herbicides.

Crop protection is the main rationale behind this type of genetic modification. Plants that are more resistant to diseases spread by insects or viruses result in higher yields for farmers and a more attractive product.

Genetically modification can also increase nutritional value or enhance flavor.

All of these factors contribute to lower costs for the consumer. They can also ensure that more people have access to quality food.

<u>CONS of GMO</u>

Because genetically engineering foods is a relatively new practice, little is known about the long-term effects and safety.

There are many purported downsides, but the evidence varies, and the main health issues associated with GMO foods are hotly debated. Research is ongoing.

Some of the cons include: Allergies, Cancer, antibacterial resistance, and outcrossing which refers to the risk of genes from certain GMO plants mixing with those of conventional crops.

Please answer these questions I'll give 40 brainliest and you will help me so much
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

10:  Number of protons always equal number of electron, but that's the case with a neutral atom. ... This implies that it has same number of protons and electrons in it. It means it has same amount of positive and negative charge, which cancel each other, and the atom as a whole becomes electrically neutral.

19: The three stable isotopes of Argon, Argon-36, Argon-38, and Argon-40, would all have 18 protons and 18 electrons if they are all neutral. The three isotopes will have different numbers of neutrons compared to each other (18, 20, and 22 neutrons respectively).

20: This isotope of fluorine has 9 protons, 9 electrons and 10 neutrons.

Explanation: Hope those are the only answers you needed. I just saw the stars next to them and figure those were the only ones you needed.

These bacteria change the nitrogen in the atmosphere into a form that we can use to make proteins
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Cyanobacteria, Anabaena and Azotobactor are called Nitrogen fixing bacteria. These bacteria change the nitrogen in the atmosphere into a form that is used by the plants to make proteins. Plants take nitrogen in the form of nitrates. The atmospheric nitrogen is first converted into ammonia after that ammonia is converted into nitrates and this nitrates use by the plants to make proteins.
