Lysozyme is frequently found in such extracellular bodily fluids

Biology
1 answer:
stich3 [128]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Lysozyme in the body fluid protects us from bacterial infection by damaging the cell wall of bacteria which ultimately kills the bacteria.

The bacterial cell wall is made up of NAG and NAM units which is joined by β (1-4) glycosidic bond. Lysozyme attacks on this bond and breaks it causing the damage in the cell wall of bacteria which leads to the death of bacteria.

Archaeal cell wall do not contain β (1-4) glycosidic linkage, it contains β(1-3) glycosidic linkage in its cell wall between NAT and NAG unit and lysozyme do not able to break β(1-3) glycosidic linkage between them so lysozyme do not cause any harm to the archaeal invaders.

How are hormones distributed to tissues, and what determines which cells hormones will affect?
oee [108]

Answer:

b. They are carried throughout the body in the bloodstream, and each hormone affects target cells that have receptors for it.

Explanation:

Hormones are secreted by hormonal glands after they get signals to secrete or release the hormone. Then these hormones are carried by the bloodstream to their destination. Each hormone has its target organ or tissue which do not response to other hormones because it the cells in those tissue have specific receptor which binds to specific hormones.

For example, luteinizing hormone in male is produced by the pituitary gland which reach to the testis through blood and influence the Leydig cell to release testosterone. So Leydig cells have receptors for LH not for insulin hormone so it binds specifically to LH hormone. So the correct answer is b.
