The use of DDT as a pesticide is an example of how new technology can have favorable and dangerous long-term outcomes. How does

this relate to the use of DNA technology? Only positive outcomes can result from new technology in science. Scientists should conduct long-term studies of DNA technology to determine the consequences. There is no connection because they are different technologies. Scientists should not use new technology; they should use the methods for pest control that are already available.

The right answer is Scientists should conduct long-term studies of DNA technology to determine the consequences.

DDT is a potent insecticide: it kills by opening the sodium channels of insect neurons, destroying them instantly, leading to spasms and then death. Some genetic mutations acting on the sodium channels can make some insects resistant to DDT and other insecticides working on the same principle.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has categorized DDT into the B2 class, that is, potential carcinogen for humans. This supports the fact that the insecticide acts on human DNA.

The correct statement is that scientists should conduct long-term studies of DNA technology to determine the outcomes.  

DDT refers to a potent insecticide, which kills by opening the sodium channels of insect's neurons, damaging them instantaneously, resulting in spasm and then death. The researchers should conduct the experiments to make sure that these pesticides will not harm other species, mainly at a molecular level, as this could influence the whole species of the organism.

Explain the chemical process of transforming energy from glucose to atp through the process of cellular respiration
svetlana [45]

Explanation:

During respiration, the breakdown of glucose undergoes several steps in order to produce ATP, namely in glycolysis, the Kreb's cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

Further Explanation:

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

  • Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
  • The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
  • The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

because the blood in the heart gets what's left of oxygenated blood first. first come first serve concept. the heart cells survive longer because they have oxygenated blood longer and more frequently. if the person is not breathing the oxygen in the blood might run out by transferring to cardiovascular cells before it gets to the brain.
