Given that an average human has a heart rate of 70 beats per minute and if one is to have a 70 year life span, the number of times it will beat is 2,575,440,000 times. This was computed by multiply 70 years by 365 days/year x 24 hours/day x 60 minutes/hour x 70 beats/min. Thus, the heart will beat numerous times before it finally stops.
The function of a protein is determined by its shape. The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure (sequence of amino acids.) The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene (DNA) encoding it.
The poles cannot move 10 km a year because they are connected to earth which moves way more than that
An intron is a non-coding region of DNA. During alternative splicing, introns are removed.
- During eukaryotic transcription, a fragment of DNA (e.g., a gene) is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA sequence, usually a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA).
- Subsequently, this pre-mRNA is processed by a mechanism called alternative splicing in order to produce a mature mRNA which is then used as template to synthesize a protein by a process called translation.
- During alternative splicing, non-coding regions of a gene called 'introns' are removed, where coding regions called 'exons' are spliced back together.
- If a cell transcribed and translated a gene’s intron by mistake, then additional amino acids would be inserted into the protein and therefore the resulting protein will be longer than normal.

Answer:
- <u>Conventional plastics-</u>
"Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass, but they often contain other substances."
"Oil-based polymers is currently used in packaging applications. These are virtually all non-biodegradable, and some are difficult to recycle or reuse due to being complex composites having varying levels of contamination.
- <u>Biodegradable plastics</u>-
"They are largely manufactured from renewable natural resources, to produce biodegradable materials with similar functionality to that of oil-based polymers."
Explanation:
<u>Complex Issue-</u>
- Diversity of biodegradable materials and their varying properties makes it difficult to make simple, generic assessments such as biodegradable products are all ‘good’ or petrochemical-based products are all ‘bad’.
- Biodegradable packaging materials are most suitable for single-use disposable applications where the post-consumer waste can be locally composted.
