IV only

Plate IV will only have the trangenic E Coli hence will have the highest percentage of bacteria that are expected to produce insulin.

Explanation:

The transgenic <em>E. coli </em>will have taken up the plasmid with the insulin and <em>amp</em> genes hence they will be able to survive and grow in amplicilin antibiotic.

In plate IV, the wild type <em>E. coli</em> will be eliminated by the antibiotic (because they do not have the gene for resistance) hence providing no competition for resources, in the agar, with the transgenic <em>E coli</em>. This will ensure optimal growth for the transgenic <em>E coli</em> even, than in plate III, producing highest percentage of insulin.

Why do the cells transformed with PUC18 and plasmid lux grow in the presence of ampicillin?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

The bacterial cells transformed with PUC18 and plasmid lux grow in the presence of ampicillin, because the DNA of bacterial cells had incorporated parts of plasmid DNA and became ampicillin resistant.

Explanation:

The bacteria showing this property is mainly known as Escherichia coli (E. coli). These bacteria cells generally shows no growth in presence of antibiotic like ampicillin. Whereas when these cells are treated with PUC 18 and plasmid lux, then the bacterial DNA undergo certain transformation due to incorporation of strands of DNA of plasmid into them. This transformation make them resistance to ampicillin, when they are cultured in agar media with ampicillin in it.

Describe the activity of protons when an acid and base are mixed together
poizon [28]

In acid-base reactions, proton (H+) moves from acid to base, meaning that the acid is a donor and base is acceptor of that proton. This happens because of the difference in potential energy (proton goes from higher potential energy to a lower potential energy).

So, definition can be:   an acid is a molecule (or ion) that can transfer a proton to another molecule and a base is a molecule that can accept a proton.
