What are the two most important driving forces of metamorphism?

Biology

krok68 [10]3 years ago
6 0

The two most important driving forces of metamorphism is high heat and pressure. Metamorphism is the changes in mineral, texture and chemical composition that occurs when a rock undergo conditions such pressures and temperatures that are different from those under which the rock was initially formed. Metamorphism occurs at high temperatures and pressures.

1. Key Concept List the
Ipatiy [6.2K]
<h2>DNA </h2>

Explanation:    

1) Experiment done by Griffith:

  • Griffith used two related strains of bacteria, known as R and S
  • R bacteria were nonvirulent, meaning that they did not cause sickness when injected into a mouse whereas mice injected with live S bacteria developed pneumonia and died
  • Griffith tried injecting mice with heat-killed S bacteria (that is, S bacteria that had been heated to high temperatures, causing the cells to die), the heat-killed S bacteria did not cause disease in mice
  • When harmless R bacteria were combined with harmless heat-killed S bacteria and injected into a mouse, not only did the mouse developed disease and died, but when Griffith took a blood sample from the dead mouse, he found that it contained living S bacteria
  • Griffith concluded that the R-strain bacteria must have taken up what he called a transforming principle from the heat-killed S bacteria, which allowed them to transform into smooth-coated bacteria and become virulent

2) Experiment done by Avery:

  • Avery, McCarty and MacLeod set out to identify Griffith's transforming principle
  • They began with large cultures of heat-killed S cells and, through a long series of biochemical steps progressively purified the transforming principle by washing away, separating out, or enzymatically destroying the other cellular components
  • These results all pointed to DNA as the likely transforming principle but Avery was cautious in interpreting his results
  • He realized that it was still possible that some contaminating substance present in small amounts, not DNA, was the actual transforming principle

3) Experiment done by Hershey and Chase:

  • Hershey and Chase studied bacteriophage, or viruses that attack bacteria
  • The phages they used were simple particles composed of protein and DNA, with the outer structures made of protein and the inner core consisting of DNA
  • Hershey and Chase concluded that DNA, not protein, was injected into host cells and made up the genetic material of the phage

How does cell transport like diffusion impact homeostasis
Reil [10]

Answer:

homeostasis is the state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions maintained by living system.

Diffusion is an important process for living things; it is how substances move in and out of cells.

Diffusion helps maintain homeostasis by creating specific concentrations of molecules inside the body compared to outside and Cells in homeostasis are successfully maintaining the internal conditions necessary for basic functioning

The cell needs to export waste and other molecules, and import fuels and fluids. Plasma membranes allow water, oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through by osmosis, or passive diffusion.
