Ans.

Chimpanzees and gorillas are considered as more closely related to humans as compared to monkeys. It is because apes have a larger brain, longer life-span, higher intelligence, longer legs and show absence of tails as humans, while monkeys have a smaller brain, short-life span, short legs, and tails.

Thus, the correct answer is option A). apes are larger than monkeys and have long legs and no tails.

Scientists believe that great apes such as chimpanzees and gorillas are more closely related to humans based on the evolutionary timeline because apes are larger than monkeys and have long legs and no tails. Apes are known to have larger brains than monkeys which makes them so closely related to us. This fact cancels out B and C for the answer. Also, apes (gorillas, orangutans, etc.) are much larger than monkeys (mandrill, lesula, etc.). This right away cancels out option D. What's left is option A which features body parts and comparisons that are comparatively accurate towards humans. Hope this helped :))

fiasKO [112]
<span>A CO2 molecule found a friendly stomata on the bottom of a leaf. As the sun rose, the leaf's cells opened up to let the molecule in through the stoma. Soon, it was moving around inside with other CO2 and water molecules. Soon, the plant--powered by the sun--began re-assembling the molecule into new forms, adding and subtracting bits with other molecules, to make sweet glucose and release oxygen into the air. A curious rabbit couldn't resist a few nibbles of the sweet leaves with their glucose, and soon the CO2 molecule, in its new form as glucose, was inside the bunny's belly, being converted into energy.</span>

Which receptor on the helper T-cell recognizes the specific antigen from an antigen-presenting cell? Which receptor on the helpe
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

TCR

Explanation:

Helper T cells are the CD4T cells that are present in the inactive form. These cells have receptors for antigens on their surface. These antigen receptors are called T-cell receptors (TCRs). The function of TCR is to recognize and bind to specific foreign antigen fragments that are presented in antigen–MHC complexes. Different helper T cells have their unique TCRs to recognize a specific antigen–MHC complex. The CD4 proteins of helper T cells also interact with the MHC antigens and help maintain the TCR–MHC coupling.
