Answer:

The ability of caffeine to inhibit adenosine receptors, plays a very important role in heightened alertness and sleeplessness.

Explanation:

"Caffeine" (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is an alkaloid obtained from plants. It has a chemical formula of C8H10N4O2.

Caffeine is generally hydrophillic but sufficiently lipophilic to pass through all biological membranes and readily cross the blood-brain barrier.

Therefore can bind with the adenosine receptors. Due to the blocking of adenosine inhibitory effects through its receptors held by paraxanthine and caffeine, it indirectly affects the release of norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, glutamate e.t.c.

The release of the above-mentioned hormones have a great impact on the heightened alertness of the body, especially dopamine and serotonin.

aliina [53]

This will be a major concern to transgenic crop manufacturers because

outcrossing can lead to loss of introduced genes from transgenic plants.

Outcrossing involves the process of crossing two different breeds thereby

introducing unrelated genetic material into it.

Crop manufacturers will be concerned if the genes from genetically modified

corn frequently move to non-genetically modified corn plants because as time goes on, the trait which made the genetically modified corn will be lost as different variations and more dominant traits will make such traits recessive and lost.
