The correct answer is "phagocytes".

Phagocytes are cells responsible for fighting infection by engulfing and ingesting bacteria and harmful foreign particles. Once phagocytes come in contact with any foreign and dangerous particle, they bind to them and engulf them. This mechanism of action is called phagocytosis.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Glycerol-induced hyperhydration will increase osmotic pressure in the body fluids and thus, decrease plasma volume

Explanation:

Glycerol is a metabolite that can be synthesized in the body from glucose and can also be obtained as a food additive. From a biochemistry point of view, glycerol plays a major role with regard to the deprivation of glucose both in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Athletes use glycerol to delay fluid loss and avoid dehydration during exercise. This metabolite is known to attract water so it stays in the body longer, increasing osmotic pressure and decreasing plasma volume. Glycerol is also used to lose weight and improve exercise performance. Moreover, it is important to note that it has been shown that intravenous injection of glycerol may damage red blood cells (hemolysis).

A cross between a red flower and a white flower produces red and white spotted flowers. Which type of inheritance pattern is ind
Nutka1998 [239]
The correct answer is codominance.

Codominance is when the alleles of a gene, in a heterozygote organism, are not fully expressed. In this case, either red or white fully dominates but they still manifest that they are present in the flower.
Do not get confused with incomplete dominance because that would result in a pink flower.
