Answer:

After allowing phages grown with bacteria in a medium that contained 32P and 35S, Hershey and Chase used a centrifuge to separate the phage ghosts from the infected cell. They then examined the infected cells and found that they contain<u> </u><u>labeled DNA</u>, which demonstrated that<u> </u><u>DNA</u> is the phage's genetic material.

Explanation:

In 1952, Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase conducted a series of experiments called the Hershey-Chase experiments, which helped them proved that DNA is a genetic material.

In the experiment, Hershey and Chase used T2 phage(a bacteriophage). They labeled its DNA with radioactive phosphorus-32 or 32P. They observed that when the phage infected E. coli, the radioactive element was found in the bacterium, concluding that the DNA material entered the bacterium when the phage infected it. While, in another experiment, they used radioactive Sulphur-35 to label phage's protein. When the same phage was attached to the bacterium, it was found that 35S labeled protein did not enter the host bacterial cell instead it remained outside. Thus they concluded that DNA is the phage's genetic material.

An enzyme that has become non functional due to the loss of its three-dimensional structure is said to be
tia_tia [17]
Is said to be denatured.

Denaturation occurs when the environment around has a extremely high temperature of extreme pH values comparing to the optimum values of the enzyme. Each enzyme has their own optimum temperature and pH.

In the case, the lost its three-dimensional structure and can no longer function because the shape of the active site is altered and thus it can no longer bind into substrates.

Protein are digested and transported by fellow proteins. Give vivid example to support the statement
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Proteins are digested in the body when ingested food from a protein source, is broken down in the stomach by enzymes like Chymotrypsin, trypsin which are both proteins, their common goal is to convert protein into a more simple form or simplest form ( Amino acids). This enzyme (Chymotrypsin and trypsin) are Proteins and they act as biological catalysts that are responsible for breaking proteins down.

An example of how Proteins are transported by fellow proteins is the case of Ferritin. Ferritin is an essential protein in the cell of the body that regulates the amount of iron available to the body. This is important for the hemoglobin in red blood cells.
