Genetic engineering has applications in medicine, research, industry and agriculture and can be used on a wide range of plants, animals and microorganisms.

Genetic engineering has produced a variety of drugs and hormones for medical use. For example, one of its earliest uses in pharmaceuticals was gene splicing to manufacture large amounts of insulin, made using cells of E. coli bacteria. 

I<span>nterferon</span><span>, which is used to eliminate certain viruses and kill cancer cells, also is a product of genetic engineering, as are tissue plasminogen activator and urokinase, which are used to dissolve blood clots.</span>

<span>It could also be used to cure leukemia and hemophilia </span>

Genetic engineering is the process of manipulating the genes and therfor the traits of an organism

we already genetically engineer our plants so they are stonger, faster, and produce better (better looking, better tasting, etc) fruit/food.

we might possible be able to genetically engineer humand or babies to controll the traits we want  (do you want your baby to be good at this)

basically genetic engineering is normally used to change theh current state of something so that it is more suited for the job that you intend for it

What happens in animal cells when mineral concentration is high and low in solution
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Diffusion occurs when there is movement of minerals from an area of higher to lower concentration, till equilibrium is obtained.

Whereas Osmosis is the movement of solvents rather then the solute, from a solution of lower to a solution of higher concentration with the help of semipermeable membrane.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of substances from area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration of minerals, which mainly results in animal cells. Whether solute or solvent, diffusion occurs for both. Diffusion does not requires any semi permeable membrane. Diffusion occur in all state of matter, that solid, liquid and gas, whereas osmosis occurs only in liquid state. Osmosis requires semipermeable membrane and rate of which is related to concentration of solute dissolution in solvent medium. Only movement of solvent medium takes place. Classical example of osmosis is exhibited by cell membranes of animal cells. On the other hand diffusion is the spreading of perfume or fragrances to the external air.
