Answer:

Metabolic Engineering

Explanation:

Metabolic engineering refers to the process of modifying the genetic and enzymatic processes within cells in order to optimize the output of products. When constraints are noticed in the normal biological process, scientists endeavor to modify the constraints so that wide scale production can be realized.

Examples of processes that incorporate this technique are beer, cheese, wine and some drugs production.

Compare the three types of RNA. Note significant similarities and differences. Use the table below to record your observations.
Alchen [17]

Answer: (Structure) mRNA: always single stranded, rRNA: single stranded, twisted upon itself in some regions, tRNA: cloverleaf-like structure

(Function) mRNA: carries the information in the DNA to the ribosomes where it is translated into amino acids of proteins, rRNA: helps assemble tRNA, mRNA, and amino acids to form the polypeptide chain during protein synthesis, tRNA: acts as an adaptor molecule, which identifies correct amino acids corresponding to the anticodon present on it

Bacteria are prokaryotes, fungi and protists are eukaryotic organisms and viruses are not living.

<h3>In what ways it is possible to distinguish prokaryotes from eukaryotes?</h3>

Bacteria (e.g., E coli) are prokaryotic organisms whose cells don't have nuclei or membrane bound organelles, reproduce by asexual ways such as binary fission, and they are beneficial as descomposers.

Some common diseases caused by bacteria include tetanus (Clostridium tetani), pneumonia (Klebsiella pneumoniae), cholera (Vibrio cholerae), etc.

Moreover, protists (e.g. algae) and Fungi (e.g. Saccharomyces cerevisiae) are eukaryotic organisms that have cell nuclei and organelles, can reproduce by asexual reproduction, can perform photosynthesis (algae) or acts as decomposers (fungi).

Some common diseases caused by protists/protozoans include malaria (Plasmodium), sleeping sickness (Trypanosoma), etc.

Some common diseases caused by fungi include aspergillosis (Aspergillus), candidiasis (Candida albicans), etc.

Finally, viruses are not living because they need a host to survive and are also useful as vectors to design gene therapy techniques.

Some common diseases caused by viruses include AIDS (HIV retrovirus), dengue fever (Flaviviridae viruses), etc.

Bacteria are used to produce insulin and other natural medications, viruses are used as carriers for the treatment of diseases,  protozoans can enhance the fertility of soils and fungi are employed in the preparation of foods.

In conclusion, bacteria are prokaryotes, fungi and protists are eukaryotic organisms and viruses are not living.
