GMO Labeling Aaron Speary Baker College of Owosso Tuesday 6-10 A largely unknown controversy is taking place between a health conscious public and the food industry. Much of the food the American people eat is altered genetically. Genetically Modified Organisms or (GMO’s) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered by genetic engineering. These organisms include bacteria‚ yeast‚ plants‚ fish and many mammals. There is concern that certain forms of GMO’s could be hazardous to the

allelochemicals that prevent competition of other plants. This is a form of a defence mechanism in order to survive. A negative effect of Allelopathy includes Patterson’s Curse. Patterson’s curse releases allelochemicals that inhibit the germination and growth of other plants. When plants are competing they compete for natural abiotic and biotic resources. However not all Allelopathy is negative. Some plants release acids and minerals that are beneficial to other plants. For example some plants release phosphate-solubilising

Discuss the role of negative feedback in living organisms and how it benefits these living organisms? (25 marks) Negative feedback is the process by which changes occur to bring an organism’s internal environment back to the normal level. One example of negative feedback in a living organism is the ways humans regulate their blood glucose levels. I will firstly discuss the processes that occur as a result of blood glucose levels being too low. When blood glucose levels are too low the pancreas
