Answer:

Friedrich Meischer discovered nucleic acids in blood cells.

Explanation:

Nucleic acid is one of the four biological molecules. It is a polymer made up of monomeric units called Nucleotides. Nucleic acids make up two important molecules namely: DNA and RNA.

Nucleic acid was first discovered in the 1860's by a then young Swiss scientist called Friedrich Miescher. He was working on white blood cells and discovered a new compound that was different from the already known biomolecules i.e. carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids etc. This compound isolated by Friedrich Miescher was then called "NUCLEIN" because he got it from the nuclei of a blood cell.

His discovery was later proven to be Deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material.

What is the most important distinction between the membrane transporters known as channel proteins and those known as carrier pr
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Channel proteins form hydrophilic channels to passively transport substances down the concentration gradient.

Carrier proteins bind to substances to transport them actively against the concentration gradient. They do not form channels.

Explanation:

Channel proteins are the membrane proteins that serve in transport of small polar molecules and/or ions by making a hydrophilic pore across the membrane. These molecules diffusion through the pore and exhibit facilitated diffusion.  

Carrier proteins are the membrane proteins that transport the substances across the membrane by binding to them. They do not form the hydrophilic channels. Carrier proteins serve in the active transport of molecules against the concentration gradient.

Why is semi-conservative important
inn [45]
The importance of the semi-conservative model is unhealthy old and new genes cancel each other. The result new cells are disease and mutation free. ...
