The answer to this is C.

CFC (F2CCl2) will decompose by release a chlorine atom. The free chlorine atom will bind to ozone to crear chlorine monoxide. The equation is

Cl + O3 —> ClO + O2

The ClO will then react with free oxygen molecules to create break the bond a form and other free oxygen molecule in this equation

ClO + O —> Cl + O2

The free chlorine atom can then come in contact with another ozone atom and continue the process which depletes more and more ozone. It’s said that one CFC can break 100,000 ozone molecules.

B is almost correct because chlorine does come from CFCs and stops ozone production but the free chlorine doesn’t react with free oxygen

What is the purpose of using genetic engineering to create edible vaccines?
Georgia [21]


A benefit of genetic engineering is the production of valuable proteins that have helped in managing of illness in human beings. Bacteria were genetically engineered to produce proteins of medical importance. One example of such a protein is human insulin which is given the name humulin and is made using E. coli bacteria.Earlier,  insulin from pig cells was used to treat patients with diabetes but many of them could not tolerate it because it has a slightly different arrangement of amino acids from that of humans and so the human body rejects it. Humulin is tolerated by the human body and so many patients are now using it to lead normal lives.
