Biofuel is an experimental resource created through the use of living matter. It is a plant-based fuel and a renewable resource

that can be used as a substitute to traditional fuel. A research team has recently discovered a “switch” that affects cell growth of a red algae used in the production of biofuel. Through the inactivation of this switch researchers observed a drastic increase in the production of red algae. If researchers are able to successfully recreate the effects of this mechanism, a wide range of industries will be interested in the purchase of this research. What should the research team take into consideration when analyzing the negative environmental effects of their findings?
a loss in biodiversity due to the replanting of the same modified crops each year

the decrease in the use of nonrenewable resources like gasoline that will occur as a result

an increase of payment coming from interested industries that they can be used to fund future research

the increase in bioplastics, also made from algae, that can phase out single-use plastics like plastic shopping bags

The answer is; a loss in biodiversity due to the replanting of the same modified crops each year


Monoculture has a drastic effect on biodiversity. Monoculture reduces the genetic diversity in a region and hence the environment is unable to maintain itself. This makes the environment less adaptable to environmental changes since natural selection acts on genetic diversity. Biodiversity is also important for living communities because it provides critical ecosystem services and resources critical for life, such as nutrient cycling.

LiRa [457]

Cytotoxic T cells are rapid killers of infected target cells. Within minutes of the interaction of a cytotoxic T cell with a target cell, the program of apoptosis in the target cell is initiated. This rapid activity is a consequence of The extremely rapid production of granzymes and perforin by cytotoxic effector cells upon encountering a target cell.

  • A type of T cell known as a cytotoxic T cell (CD8+ T cell) is in charge of removing things that the immune system recognizes as dangerous.
  • Cytotoxic T cells are essential for controlling bacterial growth and illnesses in the body.
  • By instructing their targets to undergo apoptosis, cytotoxic T lymphocytes kill their prey.
  • Cytotoxic T cells can instruct antigen-specific target cells to die within 5 minutes of coming into contact with them when they are mixed with target cells and quickly brought into contact by centrifugation.
  • The speed with which cytotoxic T cells can induce apoptosis in their targets is due to the release of prepared effector molecules that trigger the target cell's own endogenous apoptotic pathway.

List 3 cellular components involved in metabolism that are influenced by temperature
stiv31 [10]

The three cellular components, which takes part in the process of metabolism and are affected by the modifications in temperature are ribosomes, cell membrane, and enzymes.

All these are formed of a certain type of protein, which can become denatured when exposed to high enough heat or stop gets functioning at too low temperature. The high temperature can disrupt the non-polar hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. This takes place as heat enhances the kinetic energy and makes the molecules to throb so briskly and viciously that the bonds get disordered.
