Answer: To eliminate bacteria that failed to take in the plasmid.

Explanation:

Research shows that plasmid DNA is only taken in by small percentage of bacteria in a large population.

Therefore, the need of growing transformed bacteria in the presence of ampicillin is very important. The main reason of this process is to kill off or eliminate bacteria that have failed to take in the plasmid, due to their possession of recombinant DNA plasmid pARA-R (an ampicillin resistance gene), that allows them to survive.

However, after completion of the aforementioned procedure, the bacteria that have been transformed will be able to take in the plasmid.

Answer:

This is to ensure  survival of desired bacterial cells.

Explanation:

The  growing of  transformed bacteria with ampicillin-resistant gene, ( in presence of ampicillin ) is for the ampicillin to disrupts the the process of synthesising protein  which inhibit its chemotherapeutic actions, therefore  promoting the survival of transformed  bacteria.

However, bacteria which are  without  plasmid,   which are not transformed,without the  ampicillin resistance gene, (since the action of ampicillin is not block,) will not be able to grow in the ampicillin medium,  and therefore  will be  killed.Thus aiding the survival of transformed bacteria only.

The human population has increased dramatically over the last 200 years. Currently, there are almost 7 billion humans on Earth.

Definitely advances in food and medicine. We have much more access to nutrition that allows us to grow and reproduce healthily. Access to healthcare keeps us from dying of things like strep throat or diarrhea, which are common maladies. This allows more people to live long enough to reproduce and give birth to healthy babies who will then make it through their birth and live longer. I hope I helped :)

Which statement is not true of cilia in the respiratory tract?
katrin [286]
This statement is not true of cilia in the respiratory tract: THEY CLOSE THE WIND PIPE OPENING WHEN SWALLOWING. 
Respiratory cilia are hair like structures that are find in the respiratory tract. Their major function is filtration of air for removal of contaminants. They are also capable of removing foreign objects such as smoke, dust and inhaled particles such as pollen from the respiratory system. Another functions perform by the cilia is the movement of mucus away from the lungs into the throat thus helping to protect the lungs from infection.
The closing of wind pipe when swallowing is not part of the functions of the cilia, that role is performed by the epiglottis.

When protein consumption is in excess of body needs and energy needs are met, the excess amino acids are broken down and the ene
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Stored as fat

Explanation:

The body requires a variety of macro nutrients for building blocks to fortify the body and keep it functioning. One of the important building blocks are amino acids that are derived from proteins. These are broken down in the stomach by protein digestion enzymes by amylase, proteases and hydrochloric acid.

In the even that the body has taken in too many units of protein this will be stored in the liver as glycogen. This is a form of "animal carbohydrate" or "animal sugar."

The glycogen stores will remain there for a reservoir for energy whenever the body requires it. In the event of overeating the body will store the glycogen in a more concentrated form, fat via the fatty acid synthesis pathway.
