    Prokaryotic cells have their DNA scattered throughout the cytoplasm and perform nuclear functions like DNA replication and transcription in an area called the nucleoid region, unlike eukaryotic cells that have membrane-bound nuclei. Biomaterials play an important role in medicine by restoring function and facilitating health, as they are used for medical applications like implants and prosthetics. Biotechnology raises more ethical issues than other fields of engineering due to concerns around interfering with nature and the use of privileged genetic information.

    1.

    How do you think that prokaryotic cells are limited since they do not have
    a nucleus? How does this make their function different from cells that
    have a nucleus?

    Prokaryotic cells have their DNA scattered throughout the cytoplasm, most of the
    functions that a nucleus does, prokaryotes do them in a place called the nucleoid
    region.

    2. How would a bioengineer use principles of mass and heat transfer to


    address a problem in human health?

    A bioengineer solve problems in human health by using mass and heat.

    3. Why do you think that the use of genetically modified food is


    controversial?
    4. Explain why biomaterials is an important part of bioengineering.

    Biomaterials are important because it does a role in medicine it restores function and
    facilitate health for the people.

    5. Why does biotechnology raise more ethical issues than many other fields
    in engineering?

    Because it includes the availability and use of privileged information also the idea of
    interfering with nature.
