Answer:

1. Perforins

2. Granzymes

Explanation:

The activated CD8 cells (the cytotoxic T cells) mount their immune response with the help of two proteins: perforins and granzymes.

Perforins are the proteins that stimulate the cytolysis of the infected cell by inserting itself into the plasma membrane of the infected cell to form channels. The channels in the plasma membrane of infected cells allow the surrounding fluid to enter the cell followed by its bursting.

Granzymes are the proteins that enter the infected cells through the channels formed by perforins and stimulate apoptosis.

Which of the following equations represents the right chemical process that occurs in photosynthesis? Question 8 options: A) Six
AlexFokin [52]

Six molecules of carbon dioxide plus six molecules of water plus light energy converts to six molecules of oxygen plus sugar, Thus, the correct option is A.

<h3>What is photosynthesis?</h3>

Photosynthesis is the process through which plants use sunlight to create their own nourishment. Through a sequence of reactions, light energy from the sun is turned into chemical energy, which is then stored in the form of food.

In the presence of sunlight, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 6 molecules of water (H2O) react to form 1 molecule of glucose sugar. During photosynthesis, 6 molecules of oxygen are formed in addition to glucose.

The following is a balanced chemical reaction for photosynthesis:

   

                                     Sunlight

6CO2    +              6H2O  —---------> C6H12O6 +     6O2.

(carbon                (water)                  (glucose)       (oxygen)  

dioxide)

Homeostasis is a property of an organism or system that  allows its to maintain the controlled parameters within normal ranges. Henry Barbour contributed to the understanding of this concept by his delineation of the reactions of the temperature of the body. This is in line with the same concept that was initially proposed by Claude Bernard.
