Answer is (E) : Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.
Let me explain you why. Hershey and Chase conducted their experiment to show what is the genetic material that passes from one generation to another generation. Is it protein or DNA? For explaining this, they allowed the virus to grow in the presence of two different radio active elements.
In one set they grew viruses in the presence of P-32 radio-active element
In another set they grew viruses in the presence of S-35 radio active element.
The reason why they choose these two radio-active element was, phosphorus is present in DNA but not in proteins and similarly sulphur is found in proteins but not DNA.
These viruses were allowed to infect bacteria and the later was observed to be radio-actively labelled with P-32 but not S-35. This clearly showed that DNA is the genetic material which was passed from virus to bacteria.
Now if you choose Nitrogen for labeling, it won't help you in getting any conclusion since nitrogen is present in both proteins and DNA.
In the mitochondrion, small molecules combine with (Oxygen) to produce (Water) and carbon dioxide.
This process releases a large amount of (Energy).
Answer:
B. Form of active transport
Hydrolysis is when a polymer (such as a peptide bond or fatty acid) is split into smaller segments by adding water.
It is formed at Divergent boundaries, two tectonic plates diverge from one another. New oceanic crust is being formed by hot molten rock slowly cooling and solidifying. The crust is very thin.
