One can isolate the gene for human insulin from human cells, and put that gene into a plasmid (small circular DNA molecule). That plasmid is then put into bacterial cells, and the bacteria produce insulin as coded for by the human gene. It is necessary to include the neccessary bacterial promoters etc, so that the cell can actually read the DNA message, but because the genetic code and the language of codon/anticodon/mRNA/tRNA etc. is universal, a gene in one organism is readable by another organism.

Explanation:

A gene from one organism can be expressed in another, because the size and structure of all genes is exactly the same (of course, the code is different). Scientists insert a gene from organism “A” into the gene of organism “B”. They do this by first cutting the gene of organism “B”, and inserting gene “A”. Then, (this wasn’t in the lesson. I’m just guessing) certain proteins inorganism “B”, which are responsible for gene repair, connect gene “A” to genes “B” properly. When it is time for transcription to take place, the enzyme/proteins read the new DNA also, including it in the RNA sequence

Which energy pyramid cannot be inverted?
KIM [24]
A pyramid of energy can never be inverted because energy decreases by tenfold each level. This can't be reversed because energy can't just increase by tenfold. It has to come from somewhere.

What role photosynthesis play in a plant's ability to sequester carbon?
GaryK [48]
The amount of CO2 absorbed by plants through photosynthesis is enormous plants have the ability to absorb and in turn sequester enormous amounts of carbon over a very long time much of the excess atmospheric CO2 is from the result of burning phonology fuels

Umnica [9.8K]
Yes, protists have cell walls.

Protists cell walls are made of composed cellulose, protein strips , and silica

For some protists, we can even found components like pectin on the cell walls
