The process by which a cell engulfs a foreign particle is known as:

Biology
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Phagocytosis.

Explanation:

Phagocytosis may be defined as the process by which the cell uses its plasma membrane to digest the foreign particles. The pathogens and cell debris are removed by the process of phagocytosis.

The foreign particle is directly engulfed by the immune cells in the process of phagocytosis. Phagocytosis provides the mechanism of protection from the pathogens and thus helps in the immune system of the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

If B is the dominant gene for brown eyes and P is recessive gene for blue eyes, what is the genotype for brown eyes?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Both BB and Bb will result in brown eyes as it is the dominant trait. Only bb will result in blue eyes thus the answer is both choice 1 and 2.

What is the trophic level of the moth larvae in the owl's ecosystem?
nadezda [96]

Moth larvae eats leaves of the plant. It is an herbivore, a primary consumer in food chain. The primary consumer occupies the second trophic level in owl's ecosystem. The moth larvae in turn is eaten by small bird, a secondary consumer. Thus small bird occupies the third trophic level. Small bird is eaten by an owl, a top consumer that occupies fourth trophic level.

Which of the following examples poses the greatest potential threat to an ecosystem’s biodiversity?
amid [387]

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

A non native species is greatest threat to biodiversity. The species that are not present in the particular place and are introduced in the biodiversity by any means whether it is intentional or unintentional is known as invasive species or non native species.

The non native species of bees is introduced to prey on the fire ants can be a threat to biodiversity as it can use the resources available for the native species.

The effect of the non native species on the native species is not predictable on the species that is already present there.

(b) Explain how the addition of a phosphate group to certain amino acids of Brec likely affects the tertiary structure and funct
muminat

Answer:

Protein phosphorylation can activate/deactivate protein function, while small RNAs can be used for repressing translation of mRNAs through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway

Explanation:

Protein phosphorylation is one of the most important posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that acts to activate, inhibit, or reversibly switch on/off protein function. Protein phosphorylation confers a reversible and versatile process that cells use to transmit signals and respond to environmental stimuli. This PTM is well known to modify the tertiary structure of the protein and thus activate/inhibit protein functions such as, for example, signaling pathways associated with protein interactions. In consequence, protein phosphorylation can be used by a cell to regulate Brec activity. On the other hand, small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as, for example, microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), are regulatory molecules that bind by complementary base pairing to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in order to repress translation and/or trigger mRNA degradation through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. The RNAi pathway is widely used in molecular biology to silence genes of interest (for example, in this case, the gene that encodes for the kinase D protein).
