<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.

Answer:

A major transcription factor is inactivated or an oncogene is overexpressed  

Explanation:

A microarray is a technique widely used in molecular biology for the detection of the expression of target genes. A microarray is composed of microscopic spots that contain DNA probes which hybridize with the target acid nucleic (generally an mRNA). The hybridization of probe-target produces fluorescence or chemiluminescence, thereby it is possible to detect gene expression in the sample. The inactivation of major transcription factors (e.g., p53) or overexpression of oncogenes (e.g., c-Myc) are well-known to produce aberrant gene expression patterns as observed in this case.

Why is cellular respiration important? Multiple Choice It produces oxygen gas, which is essential to cell functions. It breaks d
trapecia [35]

Answer: (c) It generates ATP, which cells can use to do work.

(d) It generates chemical gradients, which have potential energy.

Explanation:

The overall process of Cellular respiration is the aerobic break down of organic compounds (food) with the release of CO2, water and energy in form of ATP which drives most cellular work.

Organic compound + oxygen --------> carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP + heat)

In cellular respiration during the break down of food in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, chemical energy (NADH and FADH) are extracted from each cellular process and transported to the electron transport chain built in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The chemical energy harvested from food is transformed into a proton-motive force, a gradient of H+ across the membrane. When this H+ election fall from their gradient via ATP synthase, Chemiosmosis couples this proton motive force to phosphorylate ADP to form ATP.
