In rheumatoid Arthritis patients, NK cell levels were abnormally elevated, possibly due to high serum levels of IL-2.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is an autoimmune disease that means our own immune system attacks self healthy cells in the body by mistake, causing inflammation (painful swelling),mainly attacks the joints.

The given study is to investigate the relationship between serum interleukin-2 (IL-2) levels and disease activity.

This study also showed the relationship between absolute numbers of peripheral lymphocyte subsets, autoantibodies, and associated cytokines in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The results showed that the number and percentage of NK cells were positively correlated with serum IL-2 levels so, IL-2 can be a reason for elevated level of NK cells

Suppose you were going to use the design process to build the tree house you designed.whst more would you need to do before you
Tanya [424]
Well, obviously one would need to start off with a plan. After having an idea/blueprint of what your ideal treehouse will look like try finding some measurements for the wood (or whatever material you will use I won't judge) of course you better already have the length, width, and height of your treehouse. After that, you can get building; which could take days or even weeks depending on the house design and the amount of people you have to help out. Once that's done you can paint and decorate it all you want. (of course, to get it in the tree you might need a pulley to put it up there or build the bottom up on the tree.) And all your missing your ladder and that's it.

Answer:

interbreeding occurs

Explanation:

The speciation is a process through which from one common ancestor, two or more different species occur. This can happen because of multiple different factors. One of the factors is that the populations should be isolated geographically. This leads to limited gene pool, and also no interaction with the rest of the population, while in meantime developing traits that are suitable for the particular environment. One of the easiest ways to see of two animals are belonging to different species is can they produce fertile offspring. If the answer is no, then that means that they have diverged enough to be considered as different species. One thing that doesn't contribute to speciation is the interbreeding, as it is a process that occurs within the population, and it is a common process through which the traits of the population are passed on to the next generation.

Which statement is not true? A) Lipids are found in cell membranes. B) Lipids are soluble in organic solvents. C) There are many
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

D.all lipids contain fatty acids.

Explanation:

A.Lipids are fats, like oil, that are insoluble in water. ... The most abundant class of lipid molecule found in cell membranes is the phospholipid. The phospholipid molecule's polar head group contains a phosphate group. It also sports two nonpolar fatty acid chain groups as its tail.

B.The simplest definition is a lipid as any molecule that is insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. Most lipids are soluble to some extent in organic solvents such as hexane, ether, chloroform or benzene. They constitute a complex collection organic compounds that include fatty acids, (A,D, E and K).

C.There are two major types of lipids- simple lipids and complex lipids. Simple lipids are esters of fatty acids with various alcohols. For eg., fats and waxes.

D.Not all lipids have fatty acids. The operational definition of a lipid is a biomolecule is that is sufficiently hydrophobic to be more soluble in an organic solvent than in water. The common theme to their structures is a high percentage of hydrocarbon character.

E.Most lipid hormones are steroid hormones, which are usually ketones or alcohols and are insoluble in water. Steroid hormones (ending in '-ol' or '-one') include estradiol, testosterone, aldosterone, and cortisol. ... Amino acid-derived hormones and protein hormones are water-soluble and insoluble in lipids.
