Explain the advantages of asexual reproduction for insulin production by genetic engineering.

1 answer:

4 0

ADVANTAGES
1. Biotechnologically produced insulin is indistinguishable from human insulin produced in the pancreas and therefore, is less likely to cause allergic reactions in diabetics.
2. Large quantities of insulin can be produced at the same time.

DISADVANTAGES
1. Some diabetics complain of an increase in episodes of hypoglycemic complications 5.
2. The production cost tends to be high.

What is the biological significance of the temperature at which the amylase

kati45 [8]

Answer & explanation:

Amylase is part of enzymes, a group of large peptide molecules (formed by amino acids) whose role is to catalyze reactions in order to facilitate the synthesis of other biological molecules.

Amylase is found mainly in saliva (in the form of salivary amylase, or ptialin), acting in the breakdown of starch and glycogen in foods, reducing them to smaller particles, facilitating their digestion and absorption.

The action of enzymes depends on certain specific conditions, called optimal conditions. In the case of amylase, it depends on an optimum pH of 7 (neutral) and an optimum temperature of approximately 37 ° C.

This enzyme can still act between 35 ° C and 40 ° C, but below 35 ° C it is inactivated, preventing its functions from being performed, and above 40 ° C it suffers denaturation, causing changes in its structures.

Thus, it is concluded that the temperature (under optimal conditions) is important for enzymes because it keeps their actions and structures in proper operation.

Ryan wants to see if storing his batteries in the refrigerator will make them last longer. He goes to Target and buys four batte

bulgar [2K]

The battery which Ryan kept in fridge, assuming it was well protected from any moisture or water, it would tend to play the CD longer than the one stored in a desk drawer. This is because storing batteries in a cool dry location while protected from any moisture or water, can help to prolong shelf life. This is due to the fact that low temperatures tends to slow down the electric current flow within the electrolyte fluid inside the battery, hence, the rate of power dissipation is reduced thus slowing down of the power drain from battery by the electric current flow . Thus, the battery stored in the fridge tends to have lost less power, if any, compared to the one stored in a desk drawer.
