The characteristic of bacteria that makes them efficient transgenic organisms to produce insulin or other medicines is they readily accept new genetic material.

<h3>What do you mean by Transgenic organisms?</h3>

Transgenic organisms may be defined as an organism whose genome has been modified by the insertion of one or more foreign (non-self) DNA sequences from another species via artificial means.

A Plasmid is a circular DNA that assists in the insertion of foreign DNA sequences into the bacterial cell.

Therefore, the characteristic of bacteria that makes them efficient transgenic organisms to produce insulin or other medicines is they readily accept new genetic material.

When atoms in a covalent bond share electrons unequally (one atoms pulls more than the other), the bond is said to be __________

IrinaK [193]

When atoms in a covalent bond share electrons unequally (one atoms pulls more than the other), the bond is said to be a polar bond is formed when electrons are unequally shared between two atoms. Polar covalent bonding occurs because one atom has a stronger affinity for electrons than the other (yet not enough to pull the electrons away completely and form an ion).

How does ATP enable transport proteins to move ions across a cell membrane?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

The ATP enables the movement of transport proteins to move the ions across a cell membrane by its getting fueled by its hydrolysis

<u>Explanation:</u>

The plasma membrane is a semi permeable membrane that is the movement of molecules across the membrane is constricted. There are 2 types of moment across the plasma membrane one is the active transport and the other is the passive transport. The active transport involves the help of ATP whereas the passive transport does not involve ATP to transport the materials.
