Phytopharmaceuticals are pharmaceutical compounds that are found in plants. They can be naturally occurring or a result of biote

chnology. Recently, scientists created genetically modified (GM) corn that produces the antibiotic penicillin.

Given the benefits of this GM corn, which of the following may be a concern regarding its production?
A.The GM corn may develop infections from bacteria that are sensitive to the antibiotic.


B.The GM corn might pass resistant genes to other organisms, like birds, that may eat the seeds.


C.Because corn uses the wind for pollination, people allergic to penicillin may be at risk for exposure to the antibiotic in the air.


D.Increased availability of the antibiotic may increase the development of antibiotic resistance in the infectious agents penicillin is used to treat.

The value of photosynthetically active radiation above which no further increase in photosynthesis occurs is referred to as:
makkiz [27]
The right answer is <span>the light saturation point.

More light usually results in higher photosynthesis levels. However, with the increase of the intensity of the light, the photosynthesis rate eventually reaches a maximum point. This point is called "luminous saturation point".

When this point is reached, the intensity of the light does not increase the rate of photosynthesis and the rate of photosynthesis curve ceases to increase.
