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

teria. Keeping in mind that the R strain was the one without a capsule, what was the outcome when Griffith injected dead S bacteria combined with living R bacteria?

4 0

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.

Urinary obstruction in the lower urinary tract triggers changes to the urinary system to compensate for the obstruction. what is
svetoff [14.1K]
The early change that the system makes in an effort to cope with an obstruction is that the stretch receptors in the bladder wall become hypersensitive. Urinary tract obstruction is a blockage that inhibits the flow of urine through the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The blockage mat be partial or complete. In response to the obstruction the urinary system is capable of undergoing adaptive changes or responses to compensate for the obstruction.

How are biotic factors in the marine ecosystem responsible for bringing carbon-dioxide into the ocean?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Marine ecosystem have biotic organisms like phytoplankton and photosynthetic algae that do photosynthesis and converts the atmospheric carbon dioxide into organic matter most of the carbon dioxide is released when other organisms eat phytoplankton and release the carbon dioxide through respiration.

But some of the algae and phytoplanktons die naturally get down to the bottom of the ocean where they make carbon sink. Some organisms accumulate CO₂ in their exoskeleton that is made up of calcium carbonate.  

Therefore this use of carbon by living organisms in oceans brings carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to oceans. This is why the ocean plays a critical role in the carbon cycle and called carbon sink.

The smooth but steady increase in muscular tension that is produced by increasing the number of active motor units is called ___
Troyanec [42]

The smooth, but steady, increase in muscular tension produced by increasing the number of active motor units is called a recruitment.

Muscle tension is the force produced when a muscle contracts (or when sarcomeres shorten). The two primary forms of skeletal muscle contractions, isotonic contractions and isometric contractions, are produced when a muscle contracts against a load that is not moving.

  1. A load is transported as the length of the muscle varies during isotonic contractions, in which the tension in the muscle remains constant (shortens). Concentric and eccentric contractions are the two varieties of isotonic contractions.
  2. When a muscle contracts isometrically, the angle of a skeletal joint remains the same while tension is produced in the muscle. Sarcomeres shorten and muscles tense up during isometric contractions, but the load is not moved since the force generated is insufficient to overcome the resistance provided by the load.
