Suppose scientists developed a genetically engineered bacteria that could use sunlight to photosynthesize a liquid fuel that could be used as a substitute for gasoline. the fuel would cost more than gasoline currently costs but would be comparable in all other ways.

check the box next to each statement describing an effect that the new science might have on society.

states that produce oil might pass laws to ban the new bacteria.

companies that sell gasoline could lose money.

people would have to add bacteria-growing equipment to their cars.

people who work at gas stations would lose their jobs.

people will have to spend more money to fuel their cars.

People add bacteria growing equitment to their cars

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is a field of biotechnology which deals with the genetic manipulation of the organisms so that they can function according to human needs.

In the given situation, bacteria is genetically engineered to photosynthesize. The product of photosynthesis is liquid fuel which is a substitute for gasoline.

Following are correct option.

1. The state should pass laws to ban bacteria as there will be huge economic loss as commercial sales of oil will stop.

2. Companies that sale the gasoline will also have to face financial loss.

5. As it is already mentioned that bacterial fuel is costlier than gasoline. People have to spend more to fuel their cars.

i'm pretty sure it's spores

blue stars have the highest surface temp

stellar distances are usually expressed in light-years

the measure of a star's brightness is called magnitude

hope this !
