Which type of cell is responsible for causing apoptosis in cancer cells and virus-infected cells?

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is natural killer cells.

Natural killer cells are a type of lymphocytes and they are important for the innate immune system. They recognise stressed cells much faster than other immune cells. Their response is rapid and usually only a few days after a viral infection. They also respond to <span>cancer cell </span>formation. While other immune cells can detect only those harmful cells that have specific markers on the surface of the cell membrane, natural killer cells can even detect those cells that miss markers for apoptosis.

how do enzymes play a factor into cellular respiration and photosynthesis? Name 2 instances where you use enzyme was inhibited/

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: Enzymes are proteins that catalyze, or affect the rate, of chemical reactions without themselves being altered in the process. Specific enzymes catalyze each cellular reaction. The main role of enzymes during the respiration reaction is to assist in transferring electrons from one molecule to another.

There are two types of inhibitors; competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors. Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site of the enzyme and prevent substrate from binding.

The way of synthesizing food in green plants and autotrophic bacteria are same. Do you agree with the statement? Give reason.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

I do not agree with this statement.

Explanation:

Plants and some bacterias are autotrophic, meaning that they manufacture their own food from basic elements using an energy source in an anabolic process. Plants mostly utilize sunlight which they trap with the help of their green pigmentation called chlorophyll. Bacteria on the other hand mostly get their energy source by splitting chemical compounds, utilizing the liberated bond energy of the compound (examples is the sulfur bacteria) to fuel their food building process.
