Answer:

The only true statement in the options given is this: MORE ATP IS GENERATED FROM THE METABOLISM OF A FATTY ACID THAN A GLUCOSE MOLECULE.

Explanation:

Glucose is the primary source of fuel for the living cells. Cells break down glucose to obtain energy which they use to carry out their life activities. The other major macro nutrients apart from glucose are fatty acids and proteins. When glucose is not available for cells' use, fatty acid and protein can be converted to glucose through the process of gluconeogenesis.

All though all the three macro molecules can produce energy, fat is the one that produce the highest amount of energy; each gram of fat supplies about 9 calories while glucose supply 4 calories and protein supply less than 4 calories.

Thus, more ATP is generated from the metabolism of fatty acid than a glucose and protein molecules.

A expresses dna that has been derived from another species. 2. dna that has been altered to contain genes, or portions of genes,
OlgaM077 [116]
1. A transgenic organism expresses DNA that has been derived from another species. These organisms have altered genomes and are generated in the laboratory for the purposes of research, for example, the "knock-out" mice are tansgenic mice with a particular gene of interest disabled. 
2. Recombinant DNA is the DNA that has been altered to contain genes, or portions of genes, from different organisms. The DNA molecules are formed in the lab using recombination methods to bring together genetic material from multiple sources and therefore creating sequences that are not found in the genome. 
3. Restriction enzymes are found naturally in bacteria and they cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences. These enzymes are also called restriction endonucleases, they cleave DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites called restriction sites. They are found in bacteria and archaea and they serve to provide a defense mechanism against invading viruses.
4. Biotechnology is the use or alteration of organisms, cells, or biological molecules to produce food, drugs, or other goods. Living systems and organisms are used to make or develop products. Biotechnology enhances cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and product for the purposes of improving life and health. 
5. Polymerase chain reaction is a technique that is used to quickly synthesize billions of copiies of a specific segment of DNA.  It is a quick and a very efficient way to generate many copies of DNA.  The process is applicable when there are small quantities of DNA to analyze. The events of PCR involves; separation of DNA strands, addition of primers, use of DNA polymerase to produce second strand of DNA. 
6. In the process known as transformation, bacteria take up pieces of DNA from the surroundings. Bacterial transformation results from the uptake of naked DNA (DNA without associated cells or proteins). Transformation may also occur naturally in some species of bacteria.

Two students are working together on an experiment that measures the effect of different liquid fertilizers on the thickness of
Georgia [21]

The correct answer is option (C) One student measures liquids for the experiment by holding the flask up at eye level. The other student measures liquids for the experiment while the flask sits on the table. Measuring liquids by holding the flask at eye level is the greatest amount of error in the experiment.

When liquid is being measured in a flask, the liquid shows a curve downwards which is called the meniscus. For measuring the transparent liquids, the lower meniscus touching the graduation of the should be considered and for measuring the colored liquids, the upper meniscus touching the graduation of the flask should be considered. When, the measurement is done by holding the flask at eye level there is always an error as it should be kept on a flat surface and measured by eyes directly leveling with the liquid. This gives a correct measurement which was done by the other student. Thus, one student measuring the liquid by holding the flask at eye level will have a wrong measurement and the other student measuring the liquid while the flask sits on the table gives the correct measurement and the results of the experiment will vary.

Biotechnology is best defined as what?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
My answer -

<span> Biology is the study of living organisms. Biotechnology involves creating solutions to problems using living organisms. It's more like how mechanical engineering uses machines to solve problems or how computer engineering uses computers to solve problems.

The problems that biotechnology works to solve can range from medical treatments (like stem cells) to advancements in agriculture (disease or drought resistant plants, food with higher nutritional value) to industrial processes (bacteria developed to replace toxic compounds used to make paper, bacteria and algae that produce biofuels).

P.S

Happy to help have an AWESOME!!!! day :)
