Biology
1 answer:
Darina [25.2K]10 months ago
5 0

Blood carries immune system cells, known as white cells or leukocytes. Some examples of white cells are phagocytes and lymphocytes.

Phagocytes ingest and dissolve pathogens, as well as strange particles or dying cells.

Lymphocytes are divided into T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells (NK). B cells produce antibodies to respond to foreign cells, T cells attack pathogens using enzymes and other non-antibodies responses, while NK cells combat tumors and cells infected by viruses.

A protein is 300 amino acids long. Which of the following could be the number of nucleotides in a bacterial gene that codes for
butalik [34]

Answer:

2) 100

Explanation:

  • Every 3 nucleotides in an mRNA specifies the addition of one amino acid in a protein.
  • Each three-letter "word" which is the combination of nucleotides is called a codon.
  • Therefore, amino acids are coded by a series of three-letter "words" - a 300 nucleotide mRNA will code for a 100 amino acid protein.

An animal cell with a 30% salt solution is placed in a beaker with a 20% salt
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

the animal cell will burst

Explanation:

If the salt solution in the animal cell is 30%, it means the water is at a 70% concentration. Outside is 20%, so the water is 80%.

Water will enter the cell. Water is at a higher concentration outside the cell (80%) or a lower concentration inside the cell (70%) by the process of osmosis.

Eventually, the animal cell will burst, because it does not have any cell wall to control the swelling of the cell that occurs as water flows in.
