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.

Compare and contrast the role of secretory vesicles, the lysosome, and the peroxisome.
Daniel [21]

Lysosomes ( common in animal cell but rare in plant cells) contain hydrolytic enzymes necessary for intracellular digestion in white blood cells that eat bacteria) lysosomes contents are carefully released Into the cytoplasm can also cause cell death.  

Peroxisomes: this organelle is responsible for protecting the cell form its own production of toxic hydrogen peroxide. As an example, white blood cells produce hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria .The oxidative enzymes in peroxisomes break down the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Secretory vesicles: cell secretions –e.g, hormones, neurotransmitters, are packaged in secretory vesicles at the Golgi apparatus. The secretory vesicles are then transported to the cell surface for releases.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: Several types of evidence supported Hess's theory of sea-floor spreading: eruptions of molten material, magnetic stripes in the rock of the ocean floor, and the ages of the rocks themselves. This evidence led scientists to look again at Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift.
