Answer:

transformation

Explanation:

Transformation is one of the three methods of genetic recombinant in bacteria. The other two are transduction and conjugation. Transformation occurs when the bacterial cells take up the DNA and which in turn changes their phenotype.

Transformation requires that there should not be any cell to cell contact. In the experiments performed by Griffith, the heat-killed virulent S strains were mixed with live R strains. The R strain took the DNA of heat-killed S strains which in turn converted them into the virulent strains. Since this horizontal gene transfer did not include any cell-to-cell contact, he called the process transformation.

What structure keeps harmful chemicals out of animal cells?
Charra [1.4K]

Cell membrane protects animals cells from harmful chemicals.

Explanation:

The cell membrane is a tough covering composed of the phospholipids and proteins and forms a bilayer around the cells. This acts as a semi-permeable membrane and controls the transport of ions, organic molecules and solutes to and from the cell through selective permeability.

The hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties and the corresponding polarity of the cell membrane and ionization status of the chemicals prevent the entry of harmful substances into the cell. The cell membrane functions as a barrier system and prevents the flow.

andrezito [222]

If she consumes protein without having to exercise, there will be a presence of excess amino acids and by having this on her diet, the amino acids will likely go through deamination in the liver of Marla as they are excess and are unused.
