Question

Two methods of biotechnology used by scientists are described below.

Process A: Inserted a pesticide gene into a soybean
Process B: Used plants and microorganisms to create a new biofuel

Which process is likely to be more advantageous in conservation? (4 points)
Process B because it will reduce our dependency on fossil fuels
Process A because more food will increase the global population
Process B because it will cause an increase in fossil fuel pollution
Process A because it will increase the number of pests in the environment

Answer 1

We can eliminate option d because that is not an advantage. That is a disadvantage.

Answer 2

i think b but i not sure

Answer 3

what do you think

Answer 4

Well would an increase in population be more of an advantage towards conservation? What would be considered "conservation"

Answer 5

no a or c

Answer 6

cause it prevtion of waseful resource

Answer 7

I may be wrong but which would be more advantageous in conservation? increasing food for more population or reducing our dependency on fossil fuels?

Answer 8

a maybe

Answer 9

That is what I think is the answer. reducing fossil fuels means less Co2 in the air, and also results in us finding new ways besides fossil fuels meaning us being more conservative.

Answer 10

oh so a or c

Answer 11

b or c

Answer 12

not a

Answer 13

Why not a?

Answer 14

cause reducing fossil fuels

Answer 15

But won't reducing fossil fuels be more of a win in conserving?

Answer 16

oh

Answer 17

The question asks: Which process is likely to be more advantageous in conservation?

Does this make sense now?

Answer 18

yea

Answer 19

now

Answer 20

it helping

Answer 21

Process B because it will reduce our dependency on fossil fuels is more advantegous in conservation because biofuels are produced by animals/plants matter and are renewable. This limits our dependency on fossil fuels, which aren't that great for the environment, and this results in more fossil fuels available due to the fact that we are using biofuels. Less fossil fuels used = conservation. understand?

Answer 22

thank you
