Answer:

Digestion works by moving food through the GI tract. Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules.

This is a molecule of glucose, a simple carbohydrate. If this molecule were broken down, would it provide all of the elements ne

Bingel [31]

No, it wouldn't provide all the elements needed to assemble lipids, nucleic acids or proteins.

As in the diagram, the breakdown of glucose molecules will release hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.

As we know that Carbohydrates and lipids are made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO). Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON).

Biomolecules contain elements like carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus. Among these carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen are found in all biomolecules. Hydrolysis reactions use water to breakdown polymers into monomers, Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.

In Griffith's experiments with Streptococcus pneumoniae, rough nonencapsulated streptococci were converted into smooth encapsula

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The correct answer is - transformation.

Explanation:

Griffith's experiment was performed by Fredrick Griffith with Streptococcus pneumoniae. Streptococcus P. are rough non encapsulated streptococci that are converted into smooth encapsulated streptococci bacteria in presence of heat-killed smooth encapsulated bacteria.

This experiment was the first experiment that showed that this bacteria can get DNA by the process of transformation.

He suggested that the nonencapsulated bacteria had been transformed into the encapsulated smooth bacteria strain by the transformation process that was somehow part of the dead encapsulated strain bacteria.

Thus, the correct answer - transformation.
