Charra [1.4K]3 years ago

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.

Which indicators are living and non-living?
bulgar [2K]
Living indicators are species that are sensitive to changes in the environment. For example air pollution can be monitored by looking at lichen, which are sensitive to sulphur dioxide in the air. The number of lichen at a particular location indicates how clear the air is. Similarly, mayfly larvae are good indicators for water pollution because they're sensitive to the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water.

Non-living indicators are things like satellites which can measure the temperature of the sea surface, weather stations that measure atmospheric temperature, rain gauges to measure rainfall, and dissolved oxygen meters to measure concentration of dissolved oxygen in water.
