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.

What can you assume has happened if an electron moves to a higher energy level
tresset_1 [31]

The extra energy that the electron suddenly has had to
come from somewhere, so I can assume that one of
two things happened:

either 1).  A photon passed by and the electron absorbed it.

      or 2).  Somebody hooked up a battery or a generator in
such a way that the electron was bathed in a field of electrostatic
potential, and suddenly had the get-up-and-go to jump to a higher
energy level, and possibly even to leave its atom completely and
zip over to a neighbor atom.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Option B. quantum mechanics

Explanation:

Quantum Mechanics, at atomic and sub-atomic levels deal with the study of how particles at this level behave and how the matter and energy interacts.

It also explains the properties of atoms, molecules and the particles constituting these.

The wave- particle duality of quantum mechanics that says that matter or every quantum of it exhibits wave as well as particle nature.

This theory was incorporated with its mathematical description given by Schrodinger was also incorporated in the theory for eave-particle duality and The probability for the existence of particle was determined.
