The correct answer is: C) A large number of phages are released at a time

Lytic cycle of a bacteriophage is one of the two life cycles of viruses, other being lysogenic. Lytic cycle can be divided in stages:

• Attachment-viruses binds to the receptor on the surface of bacterial cell, usually it uses tail for the attachment

• Entrance-virus injects its genome material (DNA or RNA) into bacteria cell

• Replication and protein synthesis-virus uses mechanism of bacteria to replicate its genome and produce proteins. As a consequence, a huge number of new viruses are formed

• Lysis- viruses express protein for the bacterial lysis (bacterial cell expand and burst) and  hundreds of new phages are released.

The answer is; SET B

Polar molecules interact well with water because there are charged. Water molecules are partially charged (the oxygen end is partially negative while the hydrogen end is partially positive). Therefore polar molecules can interact stably with charged molecules. The hydrophobic end is non-polar and is ‘water-hating’. When mixed with water, the non-polar region clumps up  into globules so they don’t interact with water.

What would happen if you change part of food chain
Tom [10]
If one species in the food web ceases to exist, one or more members in the rest of the chain could cease to exist too. A plant or animal doesn't even have to become extinct to affect one of its predators.

rodikova [14]

The phagocytotic barrier, which is a part of innate immunity best describes the above scenario.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The largest organ of the body is the skin, similarly the skin also an immune barrier to the body. If there is any damage in the skin , its pH gets compromised and there it calls in for a microbial attack.

When there is a cut in the skin and bacteria enter the body, the immune system responds. First, macrophages approach the area of the cut. Next, the macrophages surround any bacterial cells and engulf them, the Phagocytosis  barrier which is the part of the innate immunity
