RNAi-based modification of amylopectin content in wheat occurs through decreased expression of starch-branching enzymes. If the

siRNA used to knock down plant starch-branching enzymes was transmitted to humans, what enzyme might it affect, and why would this be harmful

If siRNA against a starch-branching enzyme was transmitted to humans, then it may affect the expression of glycogen-branching enzymes. RNAi inhibits gene expression.

Glycogen-branching enzymes are similar to starch-branching enzymes because glycogen bonds are similar to those observed between amylopectin.

The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism used in molecular biology laboratories to inhibit the expression of target genes.

In the RNAi technique, a regulatory non-coding RNA called small interfering RNA (siRNA) that exhibits sequence complementary to the target gene sequence is used to inhibit and/or block the translation of the target mRNA (in this case, starch/glycogen-branching mRNA coding enzyme).

What roles do the additional leachate management and gas collection systems play at Fresh Kills?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

“Landfill Systems: Final Cap, Landfill Gas Control Collection, Leachate Control Collection and Cleaning, Stormwater Basins, Monitoring Systems”

Landfill gas is comprised of methane, carbon dioxide, water and other organic compounds. The Landfill Gas (LFG) System on site collects and controls gas emissions through a network of wells connected by pipes below the surface that convey the gas through a vacuum. Once collected, the gas is processed to pipeline quality (recovery for domestic energy use) at an on–site LFG recovery plant. Gas emissions, non–methane organic compounds (NMOCs) and other hazardous pollutants are reduced by almost 100%. LFG and its odor are prevented from entering the atmosphere. In addition to this active gas collection and recovery system, an additional safety system is in place to prevent the migration of gas off–site.

Leachate

Leachate is the liquid by–product of the breakdown of household waste. Once the final cover is placed on the landfill, the quantity of leachate produced diminishes considerably because the amount of water that comes in contact with waste is minimized. The goal of the leachate management system is to remove pollutants by containment, collection and treatment of leachate before it reenters the environment. All treated water is cleaner than the nearby Arthur Kill.
