Answer» RIGHT answer is (a) PROTEIN For EXPLANATION I would say: The toxic content of B. thuringiensis consists of protoxins. These protoxins are protein in nature. These are cry proteins that kill the insect by forming crystals in its GUT. Protoxins are endotoxins which can be used as BIOPESTICIDES. |
