Answer:

Explanation:

The insecticide which is used to protect the crop against sap-sucking insects is Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt).

This insecticide is a naturally occurring microbe in the soil and they generate proteins which are toxic to the insects.

This insecticide when consumed by the insects, it reaches their gut and gets activated. Then the toxins available in the B.thuringiensis will start attacking the guts of the insects and create holes in the lining of the guts. Through the holes which spilled out, it starts germinating and in this way, this insecticide works in killing the sap-sucking insects.
