How do scientists use recombinant DNA technology to produce the drug insulin.

1 answer:

3 0

Since diabetics are not able to make enough insulin, scientists use gene engineering to make it for them. they insert the gene that codes for the production of insulin in the plasmid (circular DNA of bacteria ) to create recombinent DNA, and the bacteria will asexually reproduce, making more and more of the insulin in a short amount of time! hope this helped it took me a long time to understand the whole process in this unit!

The fuzzy coat made of glycoproteins and glycolipids found on the external surface of the plasma membrane is called the ________

Alina [70]

Answer:

Glycocalyx

Explanation:

Glycocalyx is carbohydrate rich (glycoprotein + glycolipid) coating that is found in outer surface of cell membrane of many prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells specially bacteria.

Glycoprotein=Carbohydrate + Protein

Glycolipids= Carbohydrate + Lipids

Glycocalyx provied a barrier between cell and its surrounding, adhesion and provide protection in bacteria. In eukaryotes it can be used to identify cells.
