The correct answer is A.
Oswald Avery applied several biochemical techniques to large cultures of bacteria in order to extract and purify the "transforming principle". Their experiments showed that most probably the "transforming principle" was DNA. One of the observations leading to this conclusion was that enzymes that degrade proteins or RNA (such ribonucleases) had no effect on the "transforming principle". On the contrary, enzymes degrading the DNA destroyed the extract's transforming capacity.
A volatile acid can leave the solution and enter the atmosphere
Cell wall - Adds structural support to the cell. Holds the cells together
Cell membrane - Serves as a barrier to the cell and allows more nutrient and molecules to move in and out of the cell without letting things that can harm the cell in.
Outer membrane - Serves the same basic functions a the cell membrane. (Depending on how complicated the class your in is, I would visit this website for more information... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_outer_membrane )
Pili - Help the cell move and attach the bacteria to surfaces are other cells.
DNA - Contains the genetic instructions on what the cell can physically do, operate, and reproduce.
Flagellum - Helps the cell move. It kind of acts like a propeller for the cell so that it can move around.
