Answer:

The main advantage of genetically engineered insulin is its species specificity which reduces allergic reactions.

Explanation:

Genetically engineered insulin is also known as human insulin. It is produced by genetically engineered or genetically modified bacteria. It is indistinguishable to natural human insulin release by beta cells of the pancreas so it causes fewer allergic reactions to the patient.

Animal insulin is produced from the pancreas of animals such as cows, horses, and pigs. This produced animal insulin extracted and purified for clinical use.

So, the main advantage of human insulin or genetically modified insulin is its species specificity.

The cactus has a specialized fleshy stem that is specialized to store water for long periods of time. Which plant tissue most li
jolli1 [7]

The plant tissue that is most likely to store water in the cactus plant is vascular tissue.

<h3>What is vascular tissue?</h3>

Vascular tissue is made up of xylem and phloem.

The main function of vascular tissue is to transport water and minerals to parts of plants.

The vascular tissue in the cactus helps to transport water to the spines.

It also stores water for a long period of time.

Thus, the correct option is vascular tissue.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Peppermint oil and morning, peppermint oil and night, lavender oil and morning, lavender oil and night

Step-by-step explanation:

Fertilisers are substances, which could be organic or inorganic, that is added to soil to increase crop yield.

Pesticide can be defined as substances that are used to control pests in an environment. Example of a pesticide includes:

- fungicides,

- herbicides( these are used to kill unwanted plants) and

- insecticides.

From the existing knowledge that the time of day the fertilizer is applied, morning and night affects the pesticide, and the Company managers know that peppermint oil or lavender oil will be used.

The insects should be subjected to the following treatments to effectively compare all combinations of these choices listed above:

- Peppermint oil and morning,

- peppermint oil and night,

- lavender oil and morning,

- lavender oil and night

An object with a mass of 20 kg and potential energy of 584 J is what distance above the ground
grigory [225]

Answer:

29.2 m

Explanation:

P=mh. Plug in the values.

584 J = 20 kg x <em>h</em>

h = 29.2 m

If it's gravitational potential energy multiply is by gravity which I think is 10 m/s.

In 1985 a biologist counted 750 pine trees in a 250 hectare forest. Using similar counting techniques, the biologist counted 1,2
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Suppose that we have a given function f(x)

The average rate of change of the function between two values x₁ and x₂ is given by:

r = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}

a) We want to find the average (rate) of change on the size of population from 1985 to 1995.

We have that:

f(1985) = 750

f(1995) = 1500

Then we have:

r = \frac{1500 - 750}{1995 - 1985}  = 750/10 = 75

This means that the population of trees increases, in average, at a rate of 75 trees per year.

b) What is the density of trees each year that they were counted?

This will be equal to the quotient between the number of trees and the area.

1985: number of trees = 750 pines

         area = 250 ha

Then the density is:

D(1985) = (750 pines)/(250 ha) = 3 pines/ha

So 1985, there were 3 pines per hectare.

1990: number of trees = 1250 pines

         area = 250 ha

Then the density is:

D(1990) = (1250 pines)/(250 ha) = 5 pines/ha

1995: number of trees = 1500 pines

         area = 250 ha

The density is:

D(1995) = (1500 pines)/(250 ha) = 6 pines/ha

3) now we want to get the average change between 1985 and 1995 in the density, this will be:

r = \frac{D(1995) - D(1885)}{1995 - 1985}  = \frac{6 pines/ha - 3pines/ha}{10}  = 0.3 pines/ha

So, on average, each year the number of pines per hectare increases by 0.3
