b)They make it easier to administer edible vaccines.

c)They are more expensive than potatoes without the vaccine.

Answer: c)They are more expensive than potatoes without the vaccine.

A genetic engineering is a practice which is integral part of biotechnology which involves the genetic manipulation of organisms. In this the genome of organism is manipulated by incorporating the genome of the other organism, or some part of it is deleted so as to make organism resistance against diseases.

In the given situation, edible vaccines are incorporated in the potato plants, the vaccines are the chemical formulations which includes either the bacterial genome or some of it's agents which can fight against the one already present in the body causing diseases. This entire process requires an expensive  technological support as a consequences of which the quality as well as price of these potatoes will be high as compared to conventionally produced potatoes.

Answer is b). They make it easier to administer edible vaccines.

Plant derived edible vaccines dependent on the stability of plant food. Potato is not eaten raw and it needs to be cooked before eating. Cooking causes denaturation or weaken the protein present in it. Edible vaccine is more effective in plant food which eaten raw such as banana. An individual get protected from diseases by simply eating a fruit.

What is gaseous exchange
vekshin1
Gas exchange is the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream, and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the bloodstream to the lungs. It occurs from the lungs between the alveoli and a network and a bunch of tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which is located in the walls of the alveoli.

why would having both polar and nonpolar properties in a protective boundary be advantageous for the cell?
Reika [66]

Explanation:

The polar nature of the membrane’s surface can attract polar molecules, where they can later be transported through various mechanisms. Also, the non-polar  region of the membrane allows for the movement of small non-polar molecules across the membrane’s interior, while preventing the movement of polar molecules, thus maintaining the cell’s composition of solutes and other substances by limiting their movement.

Further explanation:

Lipids are composed of fatty acids which form the hydrophobic tail and glycerol which forms the hydrophilic head; glycerol is a 3-Carbon alcohol which is water soluble, while the fatty acid tail is a long chain hydrocarbon (hydrogens attached to a carbon backbone) with up to 36 carbons. Their polarity or arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties i.e. they are amphiphilic. Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer, this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers. Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins; these allow large molecules called solutes (including essential biomolecules) to cross the membrane.
