Question

Please select ALL of the statements that are true of Bt endotoxin: It is isolated from the bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis. It is a non-specifically acting protein meaning it will affect any organism that consumes it. Bt begins to function within minutes by affecting the gut of the caterpillar, enzymes break down the gut allowing for bacteria to enter the hemolymph (caterpillar bloodstream equivalent). Like Leptodoptera, wasps and bees are also affected by Bt toxin. Bt toxin is used on Leptodoptera because the insects damage the plants by boring into the roots. Using Bt endotoxin genes in plants, we can prevent the use of some insecticides.
