The turbine in a hydroelectric dam is turned by water to produce a direct current

Answer:

Option C,  It is turned by water to turn a wire inside a magnet.

Explanation:

In a hydroelectric power plant, the water is stored and then releases from greater heights which produce force enough to turn the turbine. These turbine then activates a generator to produce electricity. With in the generator a wire is set between two magnets , which start rotating to produce AC current.  

Electricity produced by rotating wire fixed between the magnets is always an AC current. Therefore option B is incorrect.  

Option A and D is incorrect as in producing hydroelectric energy it is the water which is used to rotate the turbine and not the wind. Also only AC current is produced by the hydroelectric dam.

A researcher is using the pUC18 vector to introduce a human gene into bacteria. He exposes bacteria to this recombinant molecule
allsm [11]

Answer:

The results from this experiment conclude that all of the resulting bacteria contain the pUC18 plasmid without the human gene.

The method of genetic engineering might seem very easy but in actual it is a very difficult task and most of the time a person won;t get the expected results. The chances of a vector to actually take up a recombinant DNA are very less. Even after this, the chances of a recombinant plasmid to enter a bacterial cell by transformation are very few.

How do the respiratory and excretory systems work together to help people grow and survive
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

respiratory and excretory systems are among the two vital systems in our body which work in order to maintain our health or keep our body fit

Respiratory systems comprises of organs like lungs to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide out of our body. The oxygen is then mixed with blood by the heart and reaches different parts of our body.

Excretory system is responsible for excreting or expelling the waste out of our body to keep our body free from toxins and harmful chemicals.
