The proteases involved in initiating and carrying out programmed cell death are called as caspases.

A strictly controlled cell dying mechanism known as programmed cell death, or apoptosis, is used by multicellular organisms to eliminate unwanted or dangerous cells. The proteolytic enzymes known as caspases, which cause cell death by cleaving certain proteins in the cytoplasm and nucleus, mediate apoptosis.

All cells contain the inactive precursors of caspases known as procaspases. These procaspases are typically activated by cleavage by other caspases, resulting in a proteolytic caspase cascade. Either extracellular or intracellular death signals trigger the activation process, which results in the accumulation of intracellular adaptor molecules and the activation of procaspases. Bcl-2 and IAP protein family members control the activation of caspase.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The answer is D. Ciliated mucous lining in the nose.

Explanation:

Most inspired particles, such as dust, do not reach the lungs due to the CILIATED MUCOUS LINING OF THE NOSE. The nostril is covered with a mucous membrane that has a mucus-producing epithelium, and has hair cells covered with thin hairs, called vibrating cilia, which displace mucus, immune system cells, and numerous substances capable of blocking bacteria, Viruses and harmful substances. It is the first line of defense of the immune system.
