Answer:

Evaporation of water from the oceans

Explanation:

Amongst all these factors it is only option C i.e. "Evaporation of water from the oceans" which has nothing to do with carbon cycle because in evaporation of water, water (H2O) simply changes state from liquid to gaseous phase and carbon is not at all involved. In carbon cycle, carbon moves from biotic factors to abiotic factors or vice versa i.e. from living organisms to non living environment or from non living environment back to living organism. In photosynthesis carbon is captured and fixed by plant so that means carbon moves from environment to living organism (plant). In respiration, carbon is lost to the environment from plant i.e. it moves back to the environment from the plant body. In decay of plant also carbon moves back to the environment from the body of dead plants with the help of decomposers.

Fungi can be beneficial or destructive. One type of fungi, the smuts, attack grain plants like corn and wheat. What would likely

SIZIF [17.4K]

Smut are plant disease caused by several species of fungi that affects plants such as, corn, wheat, and sorghum. Smut is characterized by fungal spores which are infectious and can affect different parts of the plant at the same time. The fungi attacks grain crops by forming thick, fleshy, gall on the ear, tassel, stalk and leaves of the plant. Smut are destructive to grain crops, with negative economic effects to the farmer.

Each of the following will enhance and promote phagocytosis, except Multiple Choice tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and other cytoki

ozzi

Answer:

The correct answer is: deposition of interferon on bacterial cells.

Explanation:

Phagocytosis is the mechanism by which a cell uses its plasma membrane to ingest a big particle, forming a phagosome within the cell. It's a form of endocytosis used by the immune system to eliminate pathogens such as bacteria and cell debris.

Phagocytosis can be enhanced through various ways when an infection is taking place in the body. For example, cytokines and TNF are secreted by different kinds of cells to stimulate this process - for these cytokines to be released, certain parts of the bacteria called PAMPs need to be recognized by specific receptors located in phagocytes and epithelial cells called TLRs. Another way to stimulate this mechanism is by depositing complement fragments on bacterial cells, which is done thanks to the Complement cascade, a system of great importance in the innate immune response against extracellular bacteria - these fragments will opsonize ("mark") the pathogens for the phagocytes to recognize them and engulf them.

Interferon, on the other hand, while hugely important on the immune response against viruses and other pathogens that infect our cells by entering them and using their organelles to replicate and translate proteins, is not an enhancer of phagocytosis, as it is mostly involved in the translation of genes that will lead to the infected cell's death.
