In Griffith experiments why did the mouse live when injected with heat killed smooth and rough bacteria?

Biology

Answer:

The rough bacteria do not have a polysaccharide capsule so mice lived when injected with this strain.  Smooth bacteria have a polysaccharide capsule that protects the bacteria from the immune system, making them virulent and therefore kill mice.  Heat killed smooth bacteria don't have the capsule and are not virulent.

Explanation:

Streptococcus pneumonia has two types of strains, the smooth strain and the rough strain.  Cells of the smooth strain have a protective polysaccharide capsule which protect the cell against the immune system, making it highly pathogenic.  Cells of the rough strain do not have a capsule to protect them against the immune system, the immune system can easily kill the rough strain.  When the cells of the smooth strain are injected in mice the mouse is killed, and when the cells of the rough strain are injected in mice the mice live.

In the next part of the experiment, the cells of the smooth strain were killed by heat, and when these cells are injected into the mice, the mice lived.  But when the cells of the heat killed smooth strain are mixed with the rough strain and then injected in mice, the mice died.  So the DNA from the heat killed smooth strain transformed the rough strain to the virulent strain.

Why do living things depend on diffusion?
mylen [45]
Living organisms obtain many of their requirements by diffusion. They also get rid of many of waste materials in this way. For example, Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. This diffuses from the air into the leaves through the stomata. It does this because there is a lower concentration of carbon dioxide inside the leaf as the cells are using it up. Outside the leaf in the air, there is a higher concentration. Carbon dioxide molecules therefore diffuse into the leaf down this concentration gradient :)

Animals such as loggerhead turtles and Humboldt squids, which normally live
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

D. A periodic warming of sea surface temperatur e.

Explanation:

Loggerhead turtles and Humboldt squids normally lives in the south coast of Mexican. These animals are sensitive to temperature. Due to warming waters during El Niño events, these animals migrated toward the North (coast of California).

PS: In the tropical eastern Pacific, if the sea temperatures rise 0.5 °C above the long-term average, the condition is declared as El Niño.

Answer: Glucose is the basic sugar produced during photosynthesis in stroma part of chloropast.

Explanation:

It occurs in a series of steps, which together constitute Calvin cycle. Glucose, the basic sugar is thus produced in stroma part of chloroplast as explained above.
