<h2>Functions of spleen</h2>
Explanation:
The major functions of spleen besides filtering the blood of foreign materials and phagocytosis of old defective erythrocytes are:
- Initiate immune responses against infections by liberation of antigen and activation of lymphocytes (T and B cells)
- Secretes bactericidal agents which act against invading bacteria
- Secretes interleukins which promote the growth of lymphocytes or antibodies that act against pathogens
- Reservoir: Pools blood by storing thrombocytes, immature erythrocytes.
- Hematopoiesis: Blood cells like erythrocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes develop and mature in spleen especially during the early fetal life.
Explanation:
In amoeba respiration takes place through its cell membrane also called the plasma membrane. Amoeba gets oxygen gas dissolved in surrounding water through its plasma membrane by the process of diffusion. The oxygen gas diffused inside the body is used up by the amoeba. In the body, the oxygen gas absorbed is used to break down the complex food material into simple molecules. During these metabolic reactions in the body of amoeba, the oxygen gas is converted into carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas is also liberated in the surrounding water through the same process of diffusion.
Since amoeba needs oxygen for respiration, the type of respiration is aerobic respiration.
Answer:
false , they are diploid and have 23 pairs of chromosomes
*This is to help figure it out, you don't learn if I flat out give you the answer*
The new viruses burst out of the host cell during a process called lysis, which kills the host cell. Some viruses take a portion of the host's membrane during the lysis process to form an envelope around the capsid.
