The Griffith's experiment, the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment, and the  Hershey–Chase experiments were the set of experiments that established DNA as the key hereditary molecule. The Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment was an extension to the Griffith's experiment. The heat killed virulent S strain cells of the Griffith's experiment were lysed to form a supernatant containing a mix of RNA, DNA, proteins and lipids from the cell. The supernatent was equally divided into 3 parts after the removal of the lipids. The 3 parts were respectively treated with an RNAase to degrade the RNA, DNAase to degrade the DNA and proteinase to degrade the proteins. The treated supernatant was then added into the culture containing the non-virulent R cells. In case of the supernatant treated with the DNAse, no transformation of R cells into S cells occurred. The transformation of R cells to S cells occurred in the proteinase and the RNAse cases. This indicated that DNA was the hereditary molecule and not protein or RNA.

How do you think sub-atomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) affect the atom and its behavior?
Blizzard [7]
Protons and Neutrons affect the mass. Protons and Electrons change the charge of the atom (positively or negatively charged). Valence electrons are the ones that do fun stuff in chemical reactions, they are responsible for making/breaking bonds, at least to my understanding.

Hope this helps.

Which one of these is NOT an example using facilitated diffusion?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

C. "Using the sodium-potassium pump involves the hydrolysis of ATP and the

release of Nat to the outside of the cell."

Explanation:

The use of a sodium-potassium pump is a form of active transport, not diffusion. It also requires energy because the pump moves ions against their concentration gradient (low to high), unlike diffusion.
