The water molecule is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen have very different electronegativities: oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, oxygen can attract more shared electrons in a covalent bond. When a water molecule is very close to other water molecules, specific interactions between a hydrogen in a molecule and the oxygen in the nearby molecule are established, forming a very strong type of union known as a hydrogen bond. This makes water have different qualities, such as high solvent capacity, high specific heat, high heat of vaporization, great cohesion and adhesion.

What is cell membrane ?

All cells have a cell membrane, also known as a plasma membrane, which separates the interior of the cell from the external environment.
A semipermeable lipid bilayer makes up the cell membrane.
The movement of materials into and out of the cell is controlled by the cell membrane.

What are the functions of a cell membrane?

The cell membrane, therefore, has two functions: first, to be a barrier keeping the constituents of the cell in and unwanted substances out .
second, to be a gate allowing transport into the cell of essential nutrients and movement from the cell of waste products.

A good vector to genetically alter respiratory cells might be _______.

AnnyKZ [126]

A good vector to genetically altered respiratory cells might be A VIRUS THAT HAS BEEN GENETICALLY ALTERED TO CARRY NORMAL HUMAN DNA.
Gene therapy is a medical method of treatment which uses genes to prevent or treat diseases. The method is used to correct the defects in genes which is causing a disease. In order to insert a normal gene to replace the defective one, a vector, which will carry the gene is needed. The vector that is usually used in this case is a virus, which has been doctored to carry a normal human DNA.
