Great question!

Before genetic engineering, people who needed insulin to survive (diabetics) had to obtain their insulin from pancreases of pigs! When pigs were slaughtered, they removed the pancreas to take out the insulin. Expensive, time consuming - and for jews, not kosher! 

Genetic engineering changed all this - they have cloned the gene for human insulin into a plasmid which they then express in the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli). The E. coli makes A LOT of insulin this way - it's made in a stainless steel fermentor (think of how they brew beer) - and it is easily purified. So, now there is human insulin (not pig - so kosher!) and is made fast and cheap!!! No need to slaughter an animal for this anymore!

Joan and Mike's teacher show them a picture of an atom and ask them to identify it using the periodic table. Joan says the atom
Goshia [24]

choices are:

Mike is right because the atomic mass of lithium is 6. There are 3 protons and 3 electrons in the atom. 3+3=6

Joan is right because the atomic number of carbon is 6. There are 3 protons and 3 electrons in the atom. The atomic number shows the number of protons plus the number of electrons. 3+3=6

Joan is correct because carbon is a neutral atom. There are the same number of protons and electrons in the atom pictured.

Mike is correct because the atomic number shows the number of protons in all atoms. There are 3 protons and the atomic number of lithium is 3.


Li has atomic no. 3 and mass 7. so the correct ans is Mike is correct because the atomic number shows the number of protons in all atoms. There are 3 protons and the atomic number of lithium is 3.
