carbohydrates are a key source of energy while lipids are non polar or mostly insolube in water so both of them play an important goal in homeostasis

∙ 9y agoBoth carbohydrates and lipids provide energy to the body, meaning they are directly involved in homeostasis. A lipid molecule provides more than twice the energy from a carbohydrate molecule.

Briefly describe how Avery and his group determined which molecules was most important for transformation?
Avery and his colleagues made an extract, or juice, from the heat-killed bacteria. They then carefully treated the extract with enzymes that destroyed proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and other molecules, including the RNA. Transformation still occurred. Obviously, since these molecules had been destroyed, they were not responsible for the transformation. Your welcome:)
