Imagine that a man is scratched by his cat. A phagocyte near the scratch site recognizes and engulfs a bacterium. Shortly therea

fter, more phagocytes arrive in the tissue surrounding the scratch. Why? The original phagocyte secretes antigens that attract the other phagocytes The original phagocyte secretes cytokines that attract other phagocytes The bacteria produces cytokines that attract other phagocytes The bacterium releases antigens that attract other phagocytes

Answer:

The original phagocyte secretes cytokines that attract other phagocytes

Explanation:

Before phagocytosis occurs and with the presence of an original phagocyte at the scratch site mostly a macrophage (also a phagocyte), chemical signals signals are given off to attract phagocytes to the scratch site.

These chemical signals may be cytokines that are given off by macrophages located in the tissue near the infection site etc. These cytokines produced can then stimulate the recruitment of phagocytes including the neutrophils and monocytes from the blood.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

DNA ligase

Explanation:

DNA replication is a process whereby a particular DNA makes a copy of or synthesizes itself. It consists of several steps with some important enzymes for successful, error free replication. The various steps are as follows;

  • Unwinding of the double helix structure of the DNA and formation of replication fork. The enzyme involved here is the DNA helicase.
  • Primer, a short piece of RNA becomes synthesized and binds to the 3' end of one of the 2 strands of the DNA, the leading strand. The enzyme involved is the DNA primase.
  • Replication of the <em>leading strand</em> then proceeds with the elongation of the primer through the addition of bases in the 5' to 3' direction leading to the formation of continuous strands.
  • The other strand of the DNA, known as the <em>lagging strand </em>starts its own replication by binding with multiple primers at different regions of the strand. Bases are then added to each primer leading to the formation of several, short discontinuous DNA strands known as Okazaki fragments. The enzyme involved in the elongation process is the DNA polymerase.
  • Next is the termination of the replication process after the formation of the continuous and discontinuous strands. Exonuclease enzyme removes primers from the synthesized strands. Primers are replaced by appropriate DNA bases and the Okazaki fragments are joined to form a unified DNA strand by an enzyme known as the DNA ligase.

The many, few nucleotides long DNA segments observed by the Biochemist are the Okazaki fragments that should have been joined together by the DNA ligase.

Hence, DNA ligase must have been the component left of the mixture.

What is the 2nd phase of cellular respiration? what happens?
liubo4ka [24]

The second phage of cellular respiration is transition stage.

Process take place in transition stage:

The transition stage take place in mitochondria. The pyruvate is combined with NAD+ to form NADH and acetyl co-enzyme molecules.

After transition stage, Krebs cycle starts.
