How could pig xenotransplantation affect humans?

Physics

It could cause them to catch animal disease

Explanation:

Xenotransplantation refers to the transplantation of organs or tissues between different species. E.g. Chimpanzee organ (liver) being transplanted into a human body would come under the category of xenotransplantation.

Pigs have come up as prospective organ donors since their organs and tissues are more or less to that of human’s. However, there are issues such as-

  1. Xenotransplantation of pig’s tissue into a human would allow easier passage for all types of zoonotic viruses.
  2. Moreover, if transgenic pigs are used instead of natural pigs it can lead to virus mutation as per the human body demands thus leading to increased susceptibility to human infection.

Thus,  engrafting of pig’s tissue in the human body poses a significant risk for humans of catching a zoonotic (animal) disease.

If a machine will do 50 J of work in 35 seconds how much power did it produce?
grandymaker [24]
Power is the amount of work done over a period of time. If you will put that into an equation, the formula of power will be:

P = W/t
Where:
P = power
W=work
t = time

Your problem already provides you with work and time so all you need to do is divide:

P = W/t
P = 50J/30s
P = 1.67 W
