The insulin used to treat people with diabetes is commonly produced by inserting the dna sequence for human insulin into a bacterium. the insulin the bacterium produces using that sequence is then harvested. in fact, dna sequences from virtually any living organism could be inserted into a bacterium and the bacterium would be able to use the sequences to make the same proteins that the original organism did. in what way does this provide evidence for evolution? since bacteria are able to use dna from other organisms, they must have evolved from them as a common descendant. bacteria must be less evolved than higher organisms since they can still make proteins from the dna of other organisms. since the genetic code is the same across species, these species must have inherited it from a common ancestor. since foreign dna was added to the bacteria, it evolved beyond higher organisms.

q: compare the parts of a cell and the cell as a whole to another common nonliving system (i.e., a car, a city,

a:

comparing this to the inside of a food building/company.

all cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, which protects the cell from its environment, keeping toxic substances out of the cell. it regulates which molecules are allowed to enter and exit the cell.

regulates all cell activity such as cellular metabolism, and growth in addition to storing and maintaining the cell's dna for transcription and replication. determines what proteins to make.

contains the organelles; site of most cell activity

the place where ribosomes do their working activity.

builds the proteins.

prepares proteins for use or export.

responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell.

maintains cell shape.

transforms one form of energy into another.

regents of the university of california v. bakke, 438 u.s. 265 (1978), was a landmark decision by the supreme court of the united states. it upheld affirmative action, allowing race to be one of several factors in college admission policy.
