Answer:

D) secrete a cytokine that triggers apoptosis

Explanation:

Cytotoxic T cells also known as killer cells are lymphocytes that can kill foreign cells (also cancer cells, damaged and infected cells). They express specific type of receptors called T-cell receptors (TCRs) which recognize antigen of foreign cells. Cytotoxic T cells release cytotoxins such as perforin and granzymes and their role is to trigger the signal cascade in the target cell that will lead to apopotsis.

What allows for some substances to be reabsorbed and others to leak from the tubule in the enthrone?

MAXImum [283]

The right answer is <span>A) semi-permeable membrane

<span>A semi-permeable membrane is a membrane permeable to a liquid (solvent) and impermeable (or poorly permeable) to substances dissolved in the liquid (solute).

</span>The tubule of a kidney consists of a semi-permeable membrane and has also specific transporters which allow absorption and reabsorption. These "tools" allows some substances like ions to be absorbed/reabsorbed (by the transporters), without any changes in the concentration of the other substances (because both the membrane and the transporters stopped them).</span>
