Scientists have engineered bacteria to produce human proteins, such as human growth hormone (hGH) used to help treat dwarfism. Suppose the unmodified eukaryotic gene coding for hGH is inserted directly into a bacterial chromosome.

In a closed or isolated system , matter can not be created or destroyed. it can change forms but is conserved true or false

In an oxidation-reduction reaction, oxidation is what happens when a reactant

The allotropes of carbon include a variety of structures that include three-dimensional tetrahedral lattices, planes of hexagonal rings, cylindrical tubes of hexagonal rings, and spheres of five- and six-membered rings. similar shapes of network covalent atomic solids are possible with carbon nitride, boron, and pure silicon (e.g., silicene is a graphene-like allotrope of pure silicon). in contrast, silicates exist as either highly ordered or amorphous (more random) three-dimensional lattices. what could explain why there are there no naturally occurring sheets, stacked sheets, cylindrical tubes, or spheres of network covalent atomic solids composed of silicon and oxygen (sio2)? would pure silicate structures make good lubricants or good electrical conductors?
