Answer:

The benefits and harms of learning about my DNA are mostly in medical, personal, civil and criminal fields.

Explanation:

a) Pros: learning about my genome sequence could provide new information on the genetic basis of poorly understood diseases with the potential to provide new therapies, immediate benefits based on the current understanding of genetic and health. Being aware of elevated risks for known diseases could allow me to make proactive decisions about my health such as visiting the doctor frequently for more check ups, screening. Choosing one type of prescription drug over another based on my metabolism, changing my diet or exercise plan, informing reproductive decisions, moreover, I would personalize my health care precisely.

b) Cons: the potential harms are the privacy invation, database exposure , which could lead to serious implications for the criminal justice system, which generally seeks to increase the availability of DNA samples from the population. It would create genetic discrimination, meaning that would be harder to find jobs, contract insurance,  even though we have a Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.

Travka [436]

The organism is a plant.

Plants are photosynthetic and autotrophic organisms, characterized by plant cells containing chlorophyll. The plants do not have locomation devices and are therefore immobile.

Photyosynthesis starts from inorganic ingredients (CO2 and H2O) to give an organic molecule (glucose) and oxygen at the end.

What happens if there is not enough ATP available
erastova [34]
<span>Adenosine triphosphate or ATP is a way to store and use energy in the food we eat. If there is not enough ATP, this could lead to lesser oxygen in the cell on the food; hence, this will affect the energy that we can get from a certain food.</span>

Can you help with number 5? I didn’t feel like writing it.
Leno4ka [110]

From what I can see in the picture, the cell appears that it would take up half of the microscopes view if it were to be pushed to the very edge on one side.

That would be the radius. The radius is half of the diameter, and half of 0.8 mm would be 0.4 mm. The length of the cell is about 0.4 mm.

Now for the width. Since the diameter of the FoV (field of view) is 0.8, we can see that the cell doesn't reach both sides of the circle it is in. It also doesn't appear to take up half of it. So, to get the aprox. width of the cell, we're going to half the radius.

Half of 0.4 mm is 0.2 mm, so the width of your cell is about 0.2 mm.
