Which of the following was the major contribution made by Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty that strengthened the argument that the tr

ansforming agent in Griffith's experiment was DNA? Multiple Choice Transformation of nonvirulent cells with a DNA extract was successful when DNase was added. Transformation of nonvirulent cells with a DNA extract was blocked only if protease was added. Transformation of nonvirulent cells with a DNA extract was blocked only if RNase was added. Transformation of nonvirulent cells with a DNA extract was blocked only if DNase was added.

The major contribution made by Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty was 'transformation of nonvirulent cells with a DNA extract was blocked only if DNase was added'. This observation supported the idea that the transforming agent in Griffith's experiment was DNA.

The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment showed that DNA was the transforming agent observed in Griffith's experiment.

Griffith's experiment (1928) suggested that bacteria were capable of transferring genetic information (DNA) by a process of horizontal gene transfer called transformation.

While the bacteria were killed by heat, Frederick Griffith observed that the DNA had was taken up by II-R strain bacteria via transformation.

Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment observed that protease enzymes did not destroy the transforming agent (but DNAse destroyed this transforming principle), thereby suggesting that the transforming agent in Griffith's experiment was bacterial DNA.

Discuss the Conditions necessary to cause water to diffuse out of a cell
sammy [17]

When water molecules diffuse through a cell membrane this process is called the osmosis. Water molecules are extremely small and because of this they can slip freely through the gaps between the phospholipids in the cell membrane. And as a result, water molecules can constantly move back and forth though the cell <span>
membrane. This movement of water has a very important function and that is it enables cells to absorb water. </span>

Now for a movement of water molecules to happen, there should be a concentration gradient in the surrounding. That is, the amount of water in one side must be different on the other side.

<span>For water to diffuse INTO the cell, the amount of water outside the cell membrane should be larger than the amount of water inside the side.</span>

alekssr [168]

Hi KnightMaster8260,

Your Question:

Part of a starch molecule is shown below. What type organisms typically make starch and for what purpose?

Answer:

C. Plants: energy storage

This is the correct answer because plants create energy threw photosynthesis and that is storaged to be used when it needs it. if an animal eats it gets that energy.
