Macrophages are immune system cells that are vital to the development of non-specific defense mechanisms that provide the first line of defense against pathogens. These large immune cells are present in nearly all tissues and actively remove dead and damaged cells, bacteria, cancerous cells, and cellular debris from the body.

What is Macrophages?

Macrophages are specialized cells that hunt for, engulf, and kill bacteria and other dangerous organisms. They can also activate other cells by releasing substances known as cytokines, which present antigens to T cells and start an inflammatory response.

Blood monocytes that leave the bloodstream to differentiate in various organs give rise to macrophages. Each macrophage population exhibits significant variety, which most likely reflects the level of specialization necessary for each tissue's environment.

Give one example of a parasitic fungi and explain how it affects human health.
Zarrin [17]

Answer: Many pathogenic fungi are parasitic in humans and are known to cause diseases of humans and other animals. In humans, parasitic fungi most commonly enter the body through a wound in the epidermis (skin). Such wounds may be insect punctures or accidentally inflicted scratches, cuts, or bruises. One example of a fungus that causes disease in humans is Claviceps purpurea, the cause of ergotism (also known as St. Anthony’s fire), a disease that was prevalent in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, particularly in regions of high rye-bread consumption. The wind carries the fungal spores of ergot to the flowers of the rye, where the spores germinate, infect and destroy the ovaries of the plant, and replace them with masses of microscopic threads cemented together into a hard fungal structure shaped like a rye kernel but considerably larger and darker. This structure, called an ergot, contains a number of poisonous organic compounds called alkaloids. A mature head of rye may carry several ergots in addition to noninfected kernels. When the grain is harvested, much of the ergot falls to the ground, but some remains on the plants and is mixed with the grain. Although modern grain-cleaning and milling methods have practically eliminated the disease, the contaminated flour may end up in bread and other food products if the ergot is not removed before milling. In addition, the ergot that falls to the ground may be consumed by cattle turned out to graze in rye fields after harvest. Cattle that consume enough ergot may suffer abortion of fetuses or death. In the spring, when the rye is in bloom, the ergot remaining on the ground produces tiny, black, mushroom-shaped bodies that expel large numbers of spores, thus starting a new series of infections.

How many distinct trnas are needed to translate every codon in the genetic code?
White raven [17]
In the genetic code, codons made of of three bases specify an amino acid. With three bases, there are 64 possible permutations. With three codons corresponding to STOP codons, this leaves 61 combinations that code for an amino acid. This would require 61 distinct tRNA species were it not for the "wobble base"
