RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation

It is a method used to treat minor injuries such as sprains and strains:

Rest: Avoid using the injured area to prevent further damage.

Ice: Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and numb pain, typically for 20 minutes every 1-2 hours.

Compression: Use an elastic bandage to compress the injured area, which helps reduce swelling.

Elevation: Keep the injured limb elevated above heart level to decrease swelling and promote healing.

• Vaccines contain disease-producing pathogens (such as viruses or bacteria) in a weakened or attenuated form, or sometimes only a small portion of the pathogen (such as a protein or sugar).
• This allows the body to develop immunity against the pathogen without actually causing the disease.

Explanation

• Human insulin is inserted into bacteria, specifically E. coli, for the commercial preparation of insulin.
• This is done through genetic engineering, where the human insulin gene is cloned into a plasmid and then transformed into E. coli cells.
• The bacteria then produce human insulin, which can be harvested and used as a medication for diabetes.

Explanation

• Plastic bottles are not biodegradable.
• As they are made from synthetic materials that are resistant to decomposition.
