Pyroclastic materials are classified according to their size, measured in milli meters: dust (less than 0.6 mm [0.02 inch]), ash (fragments between 0.6 and 2 mm [0.02 to 0.08 inch]), cinders (fragments between 2 and 64 mm [0.08 and 2.5 inches], also known as lapilli), blocks (angular fragments greater than 64 mm), and bombs (rounded fragments greater than 64 mm).

The fluid nature of a pyroclastic flow is maintained by the turbulence of its internal gases. Both the incandescent pyroclastic particles and the rolling clouds of dust that rise above them actively liberate more gas. The expansion of these gases accounts for the nearly frictionless character of the flow as well as its great mobility and destructive power.

Pyroclastic flow, in a volcanic eruption, a fluidized mixture of hot rock fragments, hot gases, and entrapped air that moves at high speed in thick, gray-to-black, turbulent clouds that hug the ground. The temperature of the volcanic gases can reach about 600 to 700 °C (1,100 to 1,300 °F). The velocity of a flow often exceeds 100 km (60 miles) per hour and may attain speeds as great as 160 km (100 miles) per hour.

What is included in the body’s nonspecific defense against invading pathogens?
Setler [38]

The body's nonspecific defiance against invading pathogens is known as innate immunity and includes the following:

mechanical barriers and surface secretions                                             

1. The intact skin and mucous membranes of the body. These provide a high degree of protection against pathogens.

2. The sebaceous secretions and sweat of the skin contain bactericidal and fungicidal fatty acids that can kill bacteria and fungi.

3. Normal bacterial flora of the skin may produce various antimicrobial substances such as bacteriocines and acids.

Humoral defence mechanisms

1. Lysozyme. This is an enzyme found in most tissue fluids apart from cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and sweat. It can kill bacteria.

2. Interferon. Inhibits viruses from replicating

3. Complement. This is a heat labile serum that can destroy gram-negative bacteria.

1. In eukaryotic flagella, the fibers that slide past one another due to the activity of dynein proteins are microtubules. 2. Ma
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

1) In eukaryotic flagella, the fibers that slide past one another due to the activity of dynein proteins are microtubules.

2) Many cell organelles, most notably the nucleus, are anchored by intermediate filaments which are assembled from a diverse class of proteins.

3) Centrosomes are sites where protein dimers assemble into microtubules.

4) The extension of pseudopodia in amoeba is due to the regulated assembly and destruction of microfilaments.

5) The only cytoskeletal fibers not associated with intracellular movement or whole cell locomotion are the intermediate filaments.

6) During muscle contractions, myosin motor proteins move across tracks of microfilaments.

Explanation:

The cytoskeleton is a very important element of the cell, and is composed of three different structures: microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments.

<u>Microtubules</u> are structures in the shape of hollow tubes that <u>give shape to the cell</u>. Microtubules also participate in cell motility by <u>providing a route</u> for the organelles to move through.

Intermediate filaments are the only ones that do not participate in cell motility: their main function is to <u>provide mechanical support for the plasma membrane</u>.

Microfilaments are a key component in <u>cell motility</u>, and also associate with myosin (a protein) to produce <u>muscle contraction</u>. Microfilaments also give the cell the ability to grow <u>pseudopods</u>.
