C. An increase in human population
Genetic engineering is important to the scientific community because A)
Genetic engineering provides crops that are less expensive to grow. One
of the biggest problems that the world may face in the near future is a
food supply shortage due to the increasing exponential growth of the
population. Genetic engineering provides crops that are more hearty,
larger and less expensive to grow that may be the answer to mounting
future problems. The ability to manipulate plants in the lab makes
altering their growth pattern a much faster change than many years of
natural selection in the farm and field.
Because of the nitrogen cycle all of the above answers are correct
Answer: B. Combustion
Lavoisier’s oxygen theory of combustion was one of his most
notable contribution to science and earned him the title of the “father of
modern chemistry”. He recognized the combustible property of oxygen and that phosphorus and other metallic elements increased in terms of weight when burned.
