In his attempt to develop a pneumonia vaccine, Frederick Griffith injected mice with various combinations of living and dead bac
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The mice died

Explanation:

In Griffith's experiment, two strains of the same bacteria were used. S strain was smooth because it had a polysaccharide coat. This coat also made it virulent because mouse immune system was not able to destroy it and ultimately the mice died. R strain was rough because it did not have the coat and thus was harmless to mice.

When Griffith injected mice with dead S bacteria and living R bacteria together, the mice died. Live R bacteria had taken up the genetic material or as Griffith called "transforming principle" from the dead S bacteria and transformed into S bacteria. So live S bacteria were present again and they killed the mice.

Lipids are not considered as macromolecules because unlike proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids which polymers, lipids are composed of a single unit made up a glycerol backbone to which two or three fatty acids are linked.

Lipids are not polymers made up of individual subunits called monomers. They contain only  one molecule and are not macromolecuels.

Examples of lipids include waxes, steroids, phospholipids and detergents. Lipids are generally hydrophobic and insoluble in water.
