Answer:

Since genetically engineered (GE) crops were introduced in 1996, their use in the United States has grown rapidly, accounting for 80-90 percent of soybean, corn, and cotton acreage in 2009. To date, crops with traits that provide resistance to some herbicides and to specific insect pests have benefited adopting farmers by reducing crop losses to insect damage, by increasing flexibility in time management, and by facilitating the use of more environmentally friendly pesticides and tillage practices. However, excessive reliance on a single technology combined with a lack of diverse farming practices could undermine the economic and environmental gains from these GE crops. Other challenges could hinder the application of the technology to a broader spectrum of crops and uses.

It has both improved and made worse animal agriculture. New technology allows us to easily extract milk from cows, but at the cost of the cow itself. We are able to get milk but the cow is forced to produce milk and calves for our enjoyment of milk.

In many tissues, one of the earliest responses to cellular injury is a rapid increase in the level of enzymes involved in the pe

balandron [24]

<h2>Pentose phosphate pathway</h2>

Explanation:

Ten days after an injury, there is still cellular and tissue repair going on. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase are two enzymes involved in the pentose phosphate pathway which are also found in abundance in neutrophils and macrophages. These phagocytic cells of the immune system utilize NADPH to generate superoxide radicals from molecular oxygen, which are used to kill the pathogens or damaged cells they have ingested. The great rise in these two enzymes could be coming from these immune cells as they are cleaning up the damaged tissue.
Additionally, these immune cells use these two enzymes to produce NADPH, which can be used to counterbalance oxidative stress via the action of the glutathione system. Injured tissue can cause oxidative stress and increase the need for action from the glutathione system.
The glycolytic enzyme activity would be decreased as some of the glucose is shunted to the pentose phosphate pathway to favor tissue repair over the ATP generation which comes from the glycolytic pathway reactions.
