The Answer to question number two is the sun
SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago

1. Nitrogen fixation is an essential process as the plants do not possess the tendency to use nitrogen in the form of N2. The bacteria known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen in the soil to ammonia, which can then be taken up by the plants.  

2. The process of the water cycle is mainly driven by the energy provided by the Sun. This solar energy mediates the cycle by evaporating water from the lakes, oceans, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere via the procedure of transpiration.

Which does not describe an organism belonging to kingdom fungi
Kazeer [188]
C. Autotroph

The kingdom fungi is characterized as a group of eukaryotic organisms that include microorganisms such as yeast, mold, and mushrooms and will gain nutrition through absorption- a heterotrophic technique as it requires the substance of other organisms to gain nutrition and cannot make its own through photosynthetic processes

What role can exosomes play in disease treatment? who can tell me detailed information? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Exosomes as Therapeutic Target

Given the fact that elevated exosome levels are often correlated with greater severity of different types of cancer, reducing circulating exosomes to normal levels is one of therapeutic strategies to increase treatment efficacy. There are different approaches to modulate exosome production: 1) Inhibition of exosome formation: inhibit crucial proteins involved in exosome formation pathway; 2) Inhibition of exosome release: inhibit important regulators of exosome release process, increased intracellular Ca2+, change cellular microenvironmental pH; 3) Inhibition of exosome uptake: add proteinase for surface proteins on exosomes may serve as receptors for uptake pathways. In addition to control exosomes production, removal of exosomes from the entire circulatory system might be a novel strategy for cancer treatment.

Exosomes could also be used as cancer immunotherapy becasue tumor-derived exosomes carry antigens that is a great source of specific stimulus for the immune response against tumors. Both tumor-derived and dendritic cell-derived exosomes have showed capability to stimulate tumor antigen-specific responses in experimental animal models and human clinical trials.

Exosomes as Targeted Drug Delivery Vehicles

Exosomes became one of the most common methods applied in drug delivery system because of several advantages they have. Firstly, exosomes normally have a small size 40-100 nm, which is more homogenous compared to other microvesicles. This will lead them to evade rapid clearance by the mononuclear phagocyte and enhances passage through fenestrations in the vessel wall. Secondly, due to their endogenous origin, they are less toxic for and better tolerated by the immune system. It facilitates them to avoid causing side effects that normally occur with synthetic nanoparticles. Additionally, the specific ligand or protein expressed on the exosome surface increases efficiency of cargo into the cytosol of the target cell, and therefore fewer off-target effects. Exosomes are generally found most useful as a drug delivery medium in cancer therapy, anti-inflammation and gene interference therapy such as transferring of miRNA.

There are different kinds of cargos encapsulated by exosomes, especially like siRNA or miRNA. The delivery of RNA is attracting because they are rapid degradation in cell circulation and have the limitation in passing through the membrane and in cellular uptake. Chemotherapeutics loaded into exosomes is also used for cancer therapy such as doxorubicin. In principle, there are four key components to achieve correct functionality and efficacy during exosomes drug delivery:1) Choosing the donor cell type to produce drug-carrying exosomes; 2) Using correspond methods to encapsulate the exosomes cargo; 3) Enhancing the specificity of cargo delivery by targeting peptides on the surface of the exosomes; 4) Administrating exosomes to target the area of disease.

After the energy crisis of the 1970’s and the OPEC oil embargo, the US _______.
Anastaziya [24]

The Americans resorted to energy and gas-saving measures to cope with the embargo and the high price of oil.  The competition posed by non-OPEC members also contributed to the drop in oil prices and this affected the Arab economy who also took up austerity approaches to address the matter.  The prices of oil later stabilized in the 1980s.
