Answer:

Frederick Griffith was the first scientist who discovered that cell contains some components that can be transferred to another cell and cause a permanent change(transformation) in the new cell.

To prove this he performed an experiment in which he took two strains of <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em> which contain one rough strain and one smooth strain. Rough strain was non-virulent strain and smooth strain was virulent strain.

So he injected smooth and rough strain in mice and saw that mice die when virulent strain is injected and survive when non-virulent strain is injected. Then he injected heat killed virulent strain in which mice survived.

Then he added remain of heat killed bacteria with live smooth strain of bacteria and infected the mice and saw that the mice was killed by non-virulent smooth strain of streptococcus.

After this experiment he concluded that cells contain some component later identified as DNA which can be transferred to new population of cells and transform these new cells.

Energy Metabolism Pathways Carbohydrate metabolism is responsible for the formation, breakdown, and interconversion of carbohydr
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The glucose conversion to PYRUVATE opens anaerobic and aerobic metabolic pathways. VITAMIN B NIACIN in its role as a coenzyme during glycolysis, escorts hydrogen and electrons to the electron transport chain and the TCA cycle. In the Cori cycle, the release of energy from ATP converts lactate to glucose and returns the glucose molecule to the muscles through the process of Anaerobic Glycolysis.

Explanation:

In metabolism, glycolysis is defined as the splitting of the glucose molecule to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. It is the first main metabolic pathway in cellular respiration for the production of energy in form of ATP(Adenosine triphosphate).

In most cells, cellular respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen. This is known as AEROBIC RESPIRATION which produces the largest number of ATP. Energy can also be gotten by breaking down of glucose in the complete absence of oxygen. This is known as ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION.

The next stage in the degradation of glucose is a two step conversion of the two pyruvic acid molecules from glycolysis into two molecules of acetyl coenzyme A( acetyl - CoA). This occurs in the TCA( tricarboxylic acid) or Krebs cycle.

VITAMIN B NIACIN in its role as a coenzyme during glycolysis, escorts hydrogen and electrons to the electron transport chain and the TCA cycle. Coenzyme A is a derivative of vitamin B which combines with pyruvic acid to form acetyl CoA , 2 molecules of carbon dioxide and 4 molecules of hydrogen in TCA cycle.

In Cori Cycle, (which is also called Lactic acid cycle), energy released from ATP is used to convert lactate to glucose. This is to prevent increased lactic acid in the blood during anaerobic conditions in the muscles.

Vilka [71]

If we say something is beneficial, it must be positive and really mean to give advantage to one thing or another. Wave energy is a renewable energy since it can be used repeatedly over time without any problem on supply. Hence the greatest benefit it can give would be:

 

decreased use of nonrenewable resources
