Answer:

The three experiments are:

  • Griffith experiment

Griffith performed an experiment by which he observed that harmless R strain of the bacteria transformed into harmful S strain when mixed with heat-killed S strain.

He concluded that the "transforming principle" from the heat-killed S strain bacteria transformed the R strain.

  • Avery, McCarty, and MacLeod- Identification of transforming principle

They identified that the nature of the transforming principle mentioned by Griffith.

They used digestive enzymes such as proteases, RNase, and DNase.

They conclude that the transforming principle was DNA in nature.

  • The Hershey-Chase experiment

They used radioactive sulfur to label proteins and radioactive phosphorus to label DNA in the bacteriophage.

The infected bacteria were blended and centrifuged.  

The radioactive phosphorus, that is, DNA was found inside the cell whereas the radioactive sulfur, that is, proteins were found outside the cell.

It also proved that the genetic material was DNA, not protein or RNA.

True or False? : A good scientific experiment will only test one variable. Everything else will be kept constant.
liubo4ka [24]
True! because if you have more than one variable, you aren’t going to know which variable changed the dependent variable.

Do autotrophs need to carry out cellular respiration?
yawa3891 [41]
Plants do carry out cellular respiration
They use it to convert glucose, a product from photosynthesis, into ATP, the energy carrying molecule

Btw plants and animals carry out cellular respiration
ONLY PLANTS carry out photosynthesis because they make their own food but they still need to convert it into energy

Which statement about vacuoles is true?
Mila [183]

Vacuoles are storage organelles that are found in both animal and plant cells. They store food or any other forms of nutrients, they also store waste products so as to protect the contamination of the cell environment. These waste products are sent out of the cell via vacuoles. In plants the vacuoles are larger than in animals. The vacuole provides plant nourishment in the scarcity of water in the external environment hence, prevents the wilting of plants.
