How does this type of biotechnology work?

Answer:

Corn crop is resistant to herbicides because they are genetically modified through genetic engineering. There are some bacteria which are resistant to herbicides i. e. no effect of chemicals on that bacteria. So the biotechnologist take a gene from this resistant bacteria and induced it in the corn plant which becomes the part of their genetic makeup. So when we apply herbicide, the gene produces some enzymes which cancel the adverse affect of herbicide and only weeds are affected.

How are energy and information used to keep an organism's body organized?
JulsSmile [24]

How are energy in information used to

keep an organisms body organized

Energy is required for the cells to carry

out their metabolic functions. Moreover,

information (genetic information) is also

fundamental to synthesize and regulate

biomolecules required for the cells to

carry out their functions.

All cells need energy to carry out

their metabolic functions. i.e., to

live, grow, and reproduce.

(hope this helps)
