Answer:

B. Using recombinant DNA and gene cloning to produce insulin protein to treat diabetic patients.

E. Creating genetically modified corn that is resistant to insects so that pesticide chemicals do not have to be sprayed.

D. Programming stem cells to become nerve cells so that researchers can conduct experiments.

C. Creating genetically modified strawberries that are larger and can be sold for a higher price at the grocery store.

A. Using reproductive cloning to clone family pets that have passed away.

Explanation:

Ethics in biotechnology are based on six important factor such as safety, liberty, justice, environmental nature, human nature, and religious beliefs.

The Use of recombinant DNA and gene cloning to produce insulin protein to treat diabetic patients doesn’t affect such factors in a negative way and helps in saving lives which is important. This makes it the most ethical.

Using reproductive cloning to clone family pets that have passed away is the least ethical because it poses a threat to the environment as it deals with a dead body and some religious and safety concerns too.

Consider an oxygen-concentration cell consisting of two zinc electrodes. One is immersed in a water solution with a low oxygen c

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

(a) The anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Cathodic reaction is: $O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-}$ ⇒ $4OH^{-}$

Anodic reaction is: $Zn$ ⇒ $Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}$

Explanation:

In the given problem, we have an oxygen-concentration cell consisting of two zinc electrodes. One is immersed in a water solution with a low oxygen concentration and the other in a water solution with a high oxygen concentration. The zinc electrodes are connected by an external copper wire.

(a) Which electrode will corrode?

The electrode that will corrode is the anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Write half-cell reactions for the anodic reaction and the cathodic reaction.

Cathodic reaction is: $O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-}$ ⇒ $4OH^{-}$

Anodic reaction is: $Zn$ ⇒ $Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}$

How could we stop an asteroid that we know was going to hit Earth?<br><br><br> Pls help ASAP

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

An object with a high mass close to the Earth could be sent out into a collision course with the asteroid, knocking it off course. When the asteroid is still far from the Earth, a means of deflecting the asteroid is to directly alter its momentum by colliding a spacecraft with the asteroid.

Hope it helps!!

Reversible reaction and examples on them

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Here are three examples

Explanation:

In a reversible reaction, the conversions of reactants to products and of products to reactants occur at the same time.

Example 1

The reaction of hydrogen and iodine to from hydrogen iodide.

H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI

Example 2

The dissociation of carbonic acid in water to form hydronium and hydrogen carbonate ions

H₂CO₃ + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + HCO₃⁻

Example 3

The dissociation of dinitrogen tetroxide to nitrogen dioxide.

N₂O₄ ⇌ 2NO₂
