Insertion of human genes into bacteria, also known as recombinant DNA technology, is used for the large scale production of human insulin, using bacteria as the insulin-producing machinery. The gene containing information for insulin production is inserted into the DNA of bacteria, which transcribe and translate it, and insulin is produced.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

(a) The anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Cathodic reaction is: O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-} ⇒ 4OH^{-}

Anodic reaction is: Zn ⇒Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}

Explanation:

In the given problem, we have an oxygen-concentration cell consisting of two zinc electrodes. One is immersed in a water solution with a low oxygen concentration and the other in a water solution with a high oxygen concentration. The zinc electrodes are connected by an external copper wire.

(a) Which electrode will corrode?

The electrode that will corrode is the anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Write half-cell reactions for the anodic reaction and the cathodic reaction.

Cathodic reaction is: O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-} ⇒ 4OH^{-}

Anodic reaction is: Zn ⇒Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}

When molecules have the same number of each element but those atoms are arranged differently they are known as____________.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: Structural Isomers

Explanation:

The compounds having similar molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms or groups in space are called isomers and the phenomenon is called as isomerism.  

Isomers are of two types: structural isomers and stereo isomers.

Structural isomers are isomers in which molecules with the same molecular formula have different bonding patterns.

Stereoisomers are isomers in which molecules have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.

Thus when molecules have the same number of each element but those atoms are arranged differently they are known as Structural isomers.

When the temperature of a sample of liquid increases , what else increases ?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Its kinetic energy.

Explanation:

In a liquid, the molecules are so close together that there is very little empty space. A liquid also has a definite volume, because molecules in a liquid do not break away from the attractive forces. The molecules can, however, move past one another freely, and so a liquid can flow, can be poured, and assumes the shape of its container.

An increase in the temperature of a liquid causes an increase in the average speed of its molecules. As the temperature of a liquid increases, the molecules move faster thereby increasing the liquid's kinetic energy.
