- What are the the social, economic, and environmental impacts of GMOs? (positive and negative)arrow_forwardGMOs can be used to create an increased crop rate at a lower price and therefore can be used to solve the problem of world hunger. Introducing GMOs to third world countries can conserve labor, resources, and land. Nutritional value and vaccines added to the crops can improve life in the countries. These proven benefits outweigh the fact that allergies and effects on wild plants are only potential. Explain pleasearrow_forwardWhat type of risks do genetically modified food potentially pose?arrow_forward
- What is the Positive impact of GMO in society, economic and environmental? What is also the negative impacts of GMO in society,economic and environmental?arrow_forwardGenetically modified organisms (GMOs) are used to create human growth hormone, insulin and clotting factor proteins that are used to treat dwarfism, diabetes and hemophilia respectively. Several crops such as corn and soybean have also been genetically modified in order to facilitate either the management or growth of these crops. Why do you think there is push back or opposition against the use of GM food crops but not in the use of products such as insulin, which is also created using GMOs?arrow_forwardStudents are tasked to make a position paper about an article whichtackles GMO. The aim of this paper is to know whether they consider GMO asnecessary, safe and good for the environment. Guide Questions:1. Do we need GMO foods?2. Are genetically modified foods safe?3. Are genetically modified foods good or bad for the environment?arrow_forward
- The following statements refer to genetically-modified (GM) organisms. Which of the following statements (A-D) are TRUE? Choose all that are TRUE, or choose "None of the other statements are true" a) GM insects have never been intentionally released into the wild b) None of the other statements are true c) GM organisms are banned in the U.S. d) GM crops have been proven to be less nutritious than organic crops, and have been shown to increase cancer risk in people who eat them e) Since the time that glyphosate-tolerant crops were introduced (mid-1990’s), no glyphosate-resistant weeds have emergedarrow_forwardOkay, maybe GMOs have decent uses but it can't all be good. I've heard all of the following about GMOs. Which ones are realistic concerns? select all that applys a)Some GMO are patented and farmers must buy seeds every year rather than saving them from their crops. b)GMO's cause allergies at a greater rate than crops produced by cross-breeding. c)Inserted genes produce amino acids not found in nature. d)Inserted genes may escape into wild plants near farmed fields.arrow_forwardOverall, how would you evaluate the role of GMO’s and Nanotechnology in the current society? In the current advancement of technology and with the introduction of different phones and computers we utilize in our distance learning, would you prefer implement Nanotechnology here in the Philippines?arrow_forward
