Answer:
Which of the following mechanisms is used by gram-negative bacteria to cross the blood-brain barrier? D) Inducing TNF
Explanation:
The blood brain barrier is a barrier formed by brain microvascular endothelial cells, astrocytes and pericytes. Pathogens can cross this barrier by using different mechanisms. The Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) is the way gram-negative bacteria cross this mentioned blood-brain barrier.
<u>Answer</u>:- Active transport
<u>Explanation</u>:-
There are two types of membrane transports
1. Passive transport - this type of transport occurs without the input of any energy and the molecules move along the concentration gradients that is from <em>high concetration to low concentration.</em>
2. Active transport- this type of transport takes place to move the molecules against the concentration gradient that is from <em>low concentration to high concentration.</em>
<em>The active transport is of two types:</em>
1. <em>Primary active transport-</em> in this type of transport <em>ATP</em> is used as an energy source to move the substances against the concentration gradient.
2.<em>Secondary active transport</em> - in this type of transport the gradient formed by the active transport is utilized and it involves the movement of 2 substances at a time aross the membrane. That is the movement of one molecule is coupled to another.
- The membrane proteins that are associated with active transport are called as <em>carrier proteins</em>. These proteins have a binding site for the molecules that they transport. Once they bind to the specific molecules, a conformation change is induced and this leads to the transport of the molecule across the membrane.
So, the <em>active transport is basically responsible for utilizing the energy from ATP and carrier proteins to move the substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient i.e. from low concentration to high concentration.</em>
Interphase should be the stage of the cell
You should wear safety goggles, make sure that your equipment is clean, and use the proper amount of chemicals(or other substance) as told
As water vapor rises in the atmosphere, it cools and changes into liquid cloud droplets in a process called condensation
