<u>Answer:</u>

The complement system of defense is composed of proteins that are always present in the blood.

(A) It causes immediate pathogen lysis.

This statement describes the importance of this system in early pathogen defense.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The "complement system" is the protein series found in blood plasma. They are not a part of induced immune response which is early.

"Barrier defenses" are part of defense mechanism of the body. It is like body continuously protects itself against the pathogens.  

The complement system is very important because it destroys the pathogens and eliminate the infection. The  phagocytic cells and antibodies help in clearing the damaged cells present in an organism with this way.

Answer:

The correct answer is it causes immediate pathogen lysis.

Explanation:

The complement system is a part of innate immune system which is called first line of defense mechanism of our body.

         complement system along with various proteins and enzymes stimulate the phagocytic cells to attack the plasma membrane of foreign pathogen,Which ultimately result in the lysis of foreign pathogen by phagocytosis mechanism.

What is the new peptide chain when the new dna segment is translated for 3'- TACAGGGTGCTACCCACT-5'
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Methionine- Serine- Histidine- Aspartate- Glycine- stop

Explanation:

Translation, which occurs in the ribosomes, is the second stage of protein synthesis where mRNA transcript is used to synthesize a peptide chain that eventually forms a protein. The mRNA sequence is read in a group of three nucleotide called CODON. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid, which is read and added to the growing peptide chain.

In this question, a DNA sequence reds 3'- TACAGGGTGCTACCCACT-5, the

mRNA sequence from this DNA during transcription will be:

AUG UCC CAC GAU GGG UGA

From this mRNA sequence, the peptide chain that will result following translation is:

Methionine- Serine- Histidine- Aspartate- Glycine- stop

What is post-combustion carbon capture?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

CO 2 can be captured from the exhaust of a combustion process by absorbing it in a suitable solvent. This is called post-combustion capture. The absorbed CO 2 is liberated from the solvent and is compressed for transportation and storage. Other methods for separating CO 2 include high pressure membrane filtration,...

The diagram shows structures found in a seed plant. What is the function of labeled X
Alja [10]

Question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

carries food produced by leaves

Explanation:

The diagram is a cross section of stem of a dicot plant, specifically <em>Hypericum perforatum</em>. It shows all the structures present in the stem like xylem, phloem, pith, cortex etc. The structure labelled X is phloem. It is present between xylem (stained red) and peripheral cortex. Phloem is responsible for conduction of sugars and nutrients in the plant thus it carries the food produced by leaves. Together xylem and phloem make the vascular tissue which surrounds the central pith (stained bluish-green).
