The cell's series of tunnel-like membranes functioning in transport and storage are the?
schepotkina [342]

The cell's series of tunnel-like membranes functioning in transport and storage are the Endoplasmic Reticulum.

What are the functions of the Endoplasmic Reticulum?

In both plant and animal cells, the endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules and flattened sacs that perform a number of tasks.

The structure and function of the two ER regions are different. Ribosomes are affixed to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane in rough ER. Ribosomes are not linked to smooth ER. The smooth ER is often a tubular network, whereas the rough ER is a collection of flattened sacs.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)

Endoplasmic Reticulum in rough shape. Membranes and secretory proteins are produced in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Protein synthesis is carried out by translation on the ribosomes affixed to the rough ER. The rough ER generates antibodies in certain leukocytes (white blood cells). The rough ER creates insulin in pancreatic cells.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)

The production of carbohydrates and lipids is one of many tasks performed by the smooth ER. Cell membranes must be built using lipids like cholesterol and phospholipids. Vesicles that deliver ER goods to various locations also use Smooth ER as a transitory place.

Hence, the correct answer is the Endoplasmic reticulum.

Griffith's experiments with s. pneumoniae were significant because they showed that traits could be transferred from one organis
mash [69]
Griffith experiment

Griffith used two types of bacteria in his experiment

1. R-type: it was non-virulent and cause no disease in mice

2. S-type: It was virulent and cause disease in mice which lead to death.

However when heat killed S-type was applied no disease was occurred in mice. Then he mixed heat killed S-type and live R-type and injected it into mice. He was expecting that no disease will be caused in mice.

Results
             However, mice was died.

Conclusion
                   He was confused from this experiment. But later it was confirmed by other scientists that DNA from heat killed S-type was shifted to R-type. the progeny which formed from this transfer of DNA were virulent and cause the death of mice.

significance

It was concluded from this experiment that DNA is a hereditary material which transfer characters from parents to offspring.
