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!

How does pH and temperature affect cellular respiration?
Ray Of Light [21]
PH – depends on the environment the cell that is respiring is in.

Temperature; as it increases, the rate increases…to a point (too hot and enzymes denature!)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given
alexandr402 [8]

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.

Tap for fewer steps...

The slope-intercept form is  

y = m x + b  

where  m  is the slope and  b  is the y-intercept.

y = m x + b  

Using the slope-intercept form the slope is  

− 4 . m = − 4

To find an equation that is parallel to  

y = − 4 x + 2

the slopes must be equal. Using the slope of the equation, find the parallel line using the point-slope formula.

( − 2 , 5 ) m = − 4

Using the point-slope form  

y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )

plug in  

m = − 4 ,  x 1 = − 2

and  

y 1 = 5 . y − ( 5 ) = ( − 4 ) ( x − ( − 2 ) )

Solve for  

y .

Multiply  

− 1  by  5 . y − 5 = ( − 4 ) ( x − ( − 2 ) )

Simplify  

( − 4 ) ( x − ( − 2 ) ) .

Multiply  

− 1  by  − 2 . y − 5 = − 4 ( x + 2 )

Apply the distributive property.

y − 5 = − 4 x − 4 ⋅ 2

Multiply  − 4  by  2 . y − 5 = − 4 x − 8

Move all terms not containing  

y  to the right side of the equation.

Add  

5

to both sides of the equation.

y = − 4 x − 8 + 5  Add  − 8  and  5 . y = − 4 x − 3

HOPE THIS HELPED!
