Biology
1 answer:
Charra [1.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Today’s food consumption (includes high consumption of pork) had led to an increase in the omega-6 (n-6) to omega-3 (n-3) fatty acid ratio in humans. This imbalance in the fatty acids ratio has been associated with diseases such as cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, diabetes and autoimmune disorders. So, scientist “created” transgenic pigs that produce omega-3 fatty acids, in order to improve heart function and help reduce the risks for heart disease.

How does temperature influence air pressure? pls help me
disa [49]

Explanation:

When gas molecules are heated, the molecules move more quickly, and the increased velocity causes more collisions. As a result, more force is exerted on each molecule and air pressure increases. Temperature affects air pressure at different altitudes due to a disparity in air density.
