In the 1920s, bacteriologist Fred Griffith demonstrated that a heat-killed, infectious pneumococcus produced a substance that co

uld convert a harmless form of the bacterium into a lethal one. Fifteen years later, researchers prepared an extract from the disease-causing S-strain pneumococci and showed that this material could transform the harmless R-strain cells into the infectious S-strain form. This change to the bacteria was both permanent and heritable, suggesting that this "transforming principle" represents the elusive genetic material of the cells. But what kind of molecule was it?The researchers subjected their extract to a variety of tests to determine the chemical identity of the "transforming principle." In one experiment, they treated the material with enzymes that destroy all proteins. This treatment did not affect the ability of the extract to transform harmless bacteria into an infectious form.From this result, the researchers can conclude that:

Answer:

Some substance in the infectious S strain could change the harmless R strain into the more lethal form.

Explanation:

These first type of experiments where crucial to advance in DNA knowledge.

In one experiment, they treated the material with enzymes that destroy all proteins. This is important because scientist notice that there was something else that was causing the strain to change into a lethal form and was heritable (DNA).  Know a days we know that plasmids are responsible for such transformation.

If a single cell dies in a multicellular organism, what happens to the organism
Rina8888 [55]
Remember the cell theory by Virchow that states that all cells come from pre existing cells, if a single cell dies, it can be replaced unless it's a brain cell.

Which of the following statements regarding membrane protein function is FALSE?A) membrane proteins serves as enzymesB) membrane
Sever21 [200]

Answer: D)

Membrane proteins produce phospholids

Explanation:

Membrane proteins in the mitochondria do more than just generate cellular energy. The proteins in the membranes of the mitochondria are complex machines in the nanoworld that mediate the oxygen-coupled generation of energy in cells. Their role in this process is not yet understood in detail.

Membrane proteins perform a variety of functions vital to the survival of organisms: Membrane receptor proteins relay signals between the cell's internal and external environments. Transport proteins move molecules and ions across the membrane.
