Answer:

The correct answer will be option-The mice will die. Transformation of genetic material from R to S was required.

Explanation:

Frederick Griffith performed an experiment on the mouse using two strains of the <em>Streptococcus pneumonia</em> which are R (rough avirulent strain) and S (smooth-virulent strain).

In the experiment when he injected the live S bacteria with dead R bacteria, the mice died, opposite of the expected result that mice would not die. This amazed Griffith and he concluded that some transformation of the bacteria has happened due to which the mice died. The R bacteria became S bacteria (virulent) due to the transformation which was proved later that the bacteria took the DNA of the dead S bacteria from the surrounding.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

Which of the following is not a fate of glucose circulating in the blood of a healthy individual? a) It can be converted to fat.
grin007 [14]

Answer:

B) It can remain, circulating in the blood indefinitely, this is not a fate of glucose circulating in the blood of a healthy individual.

Explanation:

Glucose is produced by breaking down carbohydrates, principally in the small intestine, when we eat a meal containing carbohydrates.This glucose enters the bloodstream.When glucose is in excess, the body stores it away in the form of glycogen in a process stimulated by insulin. Glycogen is a large highly branched structure, made from lots of glucose molecules linked together.Glycogen is mainly stored in the liver and muscles, therefore, excess glucose is removed from the blood stream and stored.

Insulin signals to the cell to translocate Glut 4 to the cell membrane, so that large amounts of glucose can be taken into the cell, via the Glut 4 transporters and converted into glycogen and used as a fuel for cellular activities. Furthermore with the help of insulin, converted into fatty acids, circulated to other parts of the body and stored as fat in adipose tissue.

Viruses acquire an envelope during the maturation step of a cell's viral infection?
Flura [38]
It depends on which virus you are referring to specifically. Viruses come in many shapes and types; their variations are tremendous.

For HIV and Influenza, viruses acquire their envelops after maturation, during the budding off or detachment stage from the host cell.

Hope this helps! :)

Differentiate between transport of materials in xylem and Phloem?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

A. Transport of materials in xylem

Xylem tissue helps in the transport of water and minerals

Water is transported upwards from roots to aerial parts of plants

Transport in xylem requires physical forces such as transpiration pull.

B. Transport of materials in phloem

Phloem tissue helps in the transport of food.

Transport of food in phloem requires energy in the form of ATP.

Food is transported in both upward and downward directions.
