1.

Cloning produces identical offsprings with DNA identical to the parent DNA.

2.

Pros: Sufficient food for the people, more nutritional value
Cons: Unknown side effects, possibility of producing super corns that will disrupt the ecological balance

1.

Carbon atoms such as C-12 and C-13 differ from one another in the number of neutrons, and overall nuclear mass.
Carbon atoms differs from all uranium atoms in their nuclear mass(proton & neutron), number of electrons, and chemical properties.

2.

The number represents the nuclear mass. 15N has one more neutron in the nucleus of the atom.

3.

a. 94 protons
b. Neptunium(Np) and Plutonium(Pu)
c. 86 protons

4.

A: Control rod assembly
B: Coolant out of the core
C: Control Rod
D: Coolant into the core
E: Fuel Rod

1.

Desalination requires water to be converted to steam. However, water has high specific heat capacity(4200KJ/mol), so a large amount of energy is required to boil the water.
As such this method will not be economical.

2.

Water-soluble vitamins are polar because “like dissolves like.” Water is polar and if something is water-soluble than it is polar too. Fat-soluble would not be polar.

3.

a. Electricity(dryer)->powerplant(burns coal/fossil fuel)->emit SOx
b. Walk/bike/public transport->reduces usage of car->reduces emission of NOx
c. Electricity(dishwasher & washing machine)->powerplant->emit SOx
d. Lack of insulation results in more energy loss to the environment, additional electrical energy is required to maintain water temperature
e. Locally grown food reduces the need for transportation(by air/water/land). Thus reduces NOx.

4.

a. Coal-fired plants releases SOx, which reacts with water in the atmosphere. Sulfuric acid is thus formed, and these tiny droplets of H2SO4 form aerosols which do not absorb sunlight. They reflect light and reduces visibility.

b. Assuming that the average pH of rainfall is 5.5, the rainfall in the park would have a pH of 4.5.
