Transgenic bacteria could be very efficient at removing oil spills from seawater.Scientists believe that they could consume large quantities of oil from the BP spill and help the Gulf recover. These oilspills are a type of pollution and cause an impact on the environment.

This trangenic oil-eating bacteria, can cause the emergence of various other mutant bacteria and end up being harmfull to humans (causing respiratory, skin or gastrointestinal complications) and the environment (the broken down products of the oil are released twice as fast causing CO2 increase).

To minimize these potencial negative impacts scientists could introduce a genetic material into a bacteriophage (a virus that infects bacteria) to give microbes that already exist in the ocean the power to break down oil.

Another possible way to avoid the negative impacts of these bacteria is to create a new organism that thrives in the ocean, eats the oil, and needs a certain stimulant to live, that way when they finish their job the organism could be easily killed.

Which of the following describes the most likely effect on animal populations

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The species that make up an ecosystem are connected in complex 'food webs' of eater and eaten. When one species disappears, its predators can no longer eat it and its prey are no longer eaten by it. Changes in these populations affect others. Not only that but the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist altogether.

In examining water samples preserved in glass jars over the last century, you notice a steadily declining ph. what is the most l

NemiM [27]

There are many factors that can affect pH in water, it can be natural or man-made. Water samples preserved in the jar for a long time then suddenly be exposed to outside environment will exhibit steadily decline in ph. The general explanation is because the water interacted with carbon dioxide molecules. This creates H2CO3 lowering the pH value but the reaction is usually minimal as H2CO3 has a low solubility constant (Henry’s Law).
