Activated CD8 cells will mount a direct attack on target cells through the action of ____________ , which punch holes in membran

es, and ____________ , which then enter through these passageways.
Biology

lyudmila [28]3 years ago
8 0

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.

In this case, the physiotherapist is using Constraint-induced movement therapy.

In Constraint-induced movement therapy, the therapist forces the use of the affected arm, by restricting the movement of the arm. In this condition, the therapist block all the possible to work with an unaffected arm, which force the person to use the other arm, and hence, it helps in restoring the movement of the affected arm.

What causes the different time zones?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The need for continental time zones stemmed directly from the problems of moving passengers and freight over the thousands of miles of rail line that covered North America by the 1880s. Since human beings had first begun keeping track of time, they set their clocks to the local movement of the sun.

The lock-and-key mechanism refers to
Zinaida [17]
The Lock-and-key mechanism was first proposed by Emil Fischer which described as the enzymatic reactions whereby an enzyme with a single substrate binds temporarily to form a substrate complex. 
The lock-and-key mechanism is usually associated with the complementary shapes of an enzyme with a single substrate, wherein the lock  that is being referred to is the enzyme and the substrate is the key. One right sized substrate (key) fits into the active site (key hole) of the enzyme (lock).
The active site which is mentioned above is structurally complementary to the substrate. This is the temporary binding site on the enzymes. Just like a lock and key, the enzyme as the lock and the substrate as the key is said to fit together.

Why are genetic variation and selective breeding are advantages of sexual reproduction?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The evolution of sexual reproduction is a great puzzle in modern evolutionary biology. Many groups of eukaryotic organisms, especially most animals and plants, reproduce sexually. The evolution of sex between two organisms of the same species contains two related but different themes: its origin and its maintenance. However, since hypotheses for the origin of sex are difficult to test experimentally, most of the current work has focused on the maintenance of sexual reproduction. Biologists, including W. D. Hamilton, Alexei Kondrashov, and George C. Williams, have proposed various explanations for how sexual reproduction is maintained in a large set of different living things.
