While investigating applications of science knowledge, Willy learned that scientists have used genetic engineering techniques to attach insulin-producing genes to bacterial DNA. These bacteria produce large amounts of scarce human hormones. Scientists predict that hormones produced by bacteria will be inexpensive and will not cause allergic reactions. (SC.7.N.1.5) Scientists developed hormone-producing bacteria because they wanted to

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

develop methodologies to increase the production of hormones for human use

Explanation:

Genetic engineering refers to the manipulation of an organism's genes by using recombinant DNA (rDNA) techniques in order to develop biotechnological and biomedical applications. For this purpose, genetically engineered bacteria carrying recombinant human genes can be used for producing human hormones. For example, recombinant human insulin can be produced by using Escherichia coli strains, and this hormone can then be purified as genetically engineered bacteria grow in order to treat diabetic patients. For this purpose, a bacterial plasmid (i.e., an independent fragment of circular bacterial DNA) is cut with restriction enzymes and then the human gene encoding the hormone of interest is inserted into the plasmid. Finally, the genetically modified plasmid may be readily transferred to the bacterial chromosome and thus increase the supply of the hormone of interest for its use by humans.

C: The small intestine provides oxygen to the digested food before it goes to the rest of the body, while the large intestine absorbs nutrients and wastes from the food mixture. D: The small intestine pumps food and nutrients throughout the body, while the large intestine turns the digested food into a thin liquid mixture. PLS HELP

Answers

Answer:

B: The small intestine breaks down food into a thin mixture containing nutrients, while the large intestine absorbs water from the food mixture and turns it into solid waste.

Explanation:

Small intestine and large intestine are the important organs of digestive system in the human body. The small intestine functions by absorbing the nutrients of the simpler form of food. After absorbing the nutrients, the residue left is passed to the large intestine. The large intestine absorbs the water and further helps in eliminating the feces. It do not produces any enzyme to break the food unlike the small intestine. The process of digestion is completed by the small intestine.

Answer:The small intestine breaks down food into a thin mixture containing nutrients, while the large intestine absorbs water from the food mixture and turns it into solid waste. (B. I just took test got it right.)

all plant bodies(root,stem and leaf) are externally covered by epidermis but why woody plant is covered by barks​

Answers

Answer:

Bark comprises all the tissues surrounding the xylem in woody plants. Broadly, bark includes an inner and mostly living region and an outer, dead one. Of all plant structures, bark has the most complex anatomical structure and ontogenetic origin involving two (and often three) different meristems.

As to why, the bark adds layers to the inside ring of the vascular cambium, the outside is pushed outward. The cells die off, and the fibrous matrix of cellulose and lignin molecules remain. This hard structure forms the bark, and protects the tree or plant from many forms of damage.

In what period did fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and plants appear on earth?

Answers

Explanation:

In Cretaceous Period,fish mammals,reptiles,amphibians,and plants appeared on the earth.

The Devonian Period lasted 417 million to 354 million years. Ammonites, starfish, corals, crinoid stems, armored fish, sharks, early bony fish, and early amphibians were among the living things during the Devonian Period.

What is Devonian Period?

The Devonian, a Paleozoic era, is also known as the Age of Fishes because it produced a diverse range of fish.

The most fearsome were the armored placoderms, a group that first appeared during the Silurian period and had powerful jaws lined with bladelike plates that acted as teeth.

Throughout the Devonian period, the Earth was hotter and drier than it is nowadays.

Warm and equatorial climates were widespread, as evidenced by the abundance of evaporite basins in the Northern Hemisphere, coal deposits in Arctic Canada and Spitsbergen, as well as pervasive desert circumstances and carbonate reefs.

Dunkleosteus terrelli was the largest species and most likely the largest fish in Devonian times. It could eat almost anything because it was one of the largest and most powerful fish ever.

Thus, the fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and plants appeared on earth in Devonian Period.

Why is it important that the seedling’s true leaves grow quickly?HURRY IM BEING TIMED

to help disperse seeds to areas where they can grow
to shield the seedling from too much water or rain
to protect the seedling from receiving too much sunlight
to make food for the seedling’s continued growth

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - to make food for the seedling’s continued growth.

Explanation:

The true leaves that emerge from the seedlings are the leaves that are capable of performing photosynthesis and start generating food and energy. These support the plant for the rest of its life in terms of food and energy.

Seedlings grow from the soil, two leaves in beginning called cotyledons that are not the true leaves and not able to perform photosynthesis and generate their food for the seedling’s continued growth.
