Hello, I figured your question was missing its options so I went online to find them. Here they are:

The process of phagocytosis involves all of the following EXCEPT :

a. adhesion.

b. secretion of cytotoxins.

c. elimination.

d. vesicle fusion.

e. chemotaxis.

Answer:

The correct answer is: b) secretion of cytotoxins.

Explanation:

Phagocytosis is a mechanism performed by cells in which the plasma membrane engulfs a large particle. Phagocytosis is used by cells in the immune system to ingest pathogens like viruses and bacteria.

Phagocytosis consists of many steps:

  1. activation - the phagocytes that were resting are activated in the inflammatory response when a pathogen enters the body.
  2. chemotaxis  - this refers to the process in which the phagocyte moves to the pathogen by following the chemical factors released by these germs.
  3. adhesion - the phagocyte attaches to the pathogen.
  4. ingestion /vesicle fusion - the phagocyte sends pseudopods to engulf the pathogen, and places it in a phagosome, which is an endocytic vesicle. The phagosome and the phagocyte will fuse so the pathogen gets inside.
  5. elimination - the pathogen is destroyed in the phagocyte by the lysosomes present in it.

<u>The</u><u> secretion of cytotoxins</u><u> is not a part of the phagocytosis, and is a process exclusive to </u><u>T cells</u><u> (leukocytes that lack the ability to phagocyte).</u>

vodka [1.7K]
Attached is an image that wherein the question is being referred from.

There are choices for this question namely:

A- gravity increased the downward flow of the trapped water
B- metabolism of the elodea plants absorbed CO2 from the water
C- heat from the light source caused the escape of dissolved gas
<span>D- light caused the elodea plants to photosynthesize, releasing O2 gas
</span>
The correct answer is that light caused the Elodea plants to photosynthesize, releasing O2 gas. Choice A is not true as if gravity increased the downward flow of the water, then the model without light should have air accumulated in the test tube too. In Choice B, while it is true that the plant may have absorbed the dissolved CO2 in water, this does not explain why there is gas on top of the test tube. Choice C may only evaporate the water, not cause the escape of dissolved gases. In choice D, however, light caused the Elodea plants to perform photosynthesis releasing O2 gas compared to the other model without light wherein the plant cannot perform photosynthesis thereby not releasing O2 gas therefore no gas is seen on top of the test tube.

Answer:

Option C. It reduces the need for artificial fertilizers.

Explanation:

Crop rotation is a practice of growing different types of crop on the same piece of land in a year. Crop rotation is very beneficial for farmers because it reduces the cost of production by not using artificial fertilizers. In crop rotation, farmers grow leguminous crop in one season. Leguminous crop has the ability to produce fertilizer with the help of bacteria which is present in the nodules of roots. This fertilizer is enough for leguminous crop as well as the next crop so there is no need of artificial fertilizers.

Lipids are NOT made of nucleotides. Nucleotides are the building block for nucleic acid, if that answers your question.
