Birth defects due to radiation are a concern also. why is a fetus especially at risk?

2 answers:

Of the babies that survive, however, few will have birth defects related to the exposure, regardless of how much radiation they were exposed to. Large radiation doses to the fetus during the more sensitive stages of development (between weeks 2 and 18 of pregnancy) can cause birth defects, especially to the brain.

HOPE THAT HELPED :)

A fetus is especially at risk because they are under developed and easily susceptible to sicknesses or radiation

KIM [24]

Triglycerides vary with respect to the number of - C atoms and double bonds in the tails.

Triglycerides are esters derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. These are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other animals, as well as vegetable fat. There are two main types of triglycerides - saturated and unsaturated.

Why are biofuels derived from plants?

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Biofuels are renewable fuels that are produced from biomass, organisms that were formed and stopped living a short time ago. The energy in the biofuels is called bioenergy. The major constituents of biomass are cellulose, lignin, starch and sugar, but many plants also contain other organic compounds that are beneficial for energy recovery from the material due to their physical structure and chemical composition. The difference between biofuels and fossil fuels is that fossil fuels take millions of years for new formation while new biomass for biofuels is constantly being formed. This means that biofuels can usually be considered carbon neutral as the carbon dioxide emitted during combustion is constantly bound to new biomass in a closed cycle.

in a second experiment, the plasmid contained the gene for human insulin as well as the amp gene. which of the following best pl

Sphinxa [80]

IV only

Plate IV will only have the trangenic E Coli hence will have the highest percentage of bacteria that are expected to produce insulin.

Explanation:

The transgenic E. coli will have taken up the plasmid with the insulin and amp genes hence they will be able to survive and grow in amplicilin antibiotic.

In plate IV, the wild type E. coli will be eliminated by the antibiotic (because they do not have the gene for resistance) hence providing no competition for resources, in the agar, with the transgenic E coli. This will ensure optimal growth for the transgenic E coli even, than in plate III, producing highest percentage of insulin.
