The phagocytotic barrier, which is a part of innate immunity best describes the above scenario.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The largest organ of the body is the skin, similarly the skin also an immune barrier to the body. If there is any damage in the skin , its pH gets compromised and there it calls in for a microbial attack.

When there is a cut in the skin and bacteria enter the body, the immune system responds. First, macrophages approach the area of the cut. Next, the macrophages surround any bacterial cells and engulf them, the Phagocytosis  barrier which is the part of the innate immunity

Intrapleural pressure __________ during expiration.
san4es73 [151]
Intrapleural pressure is Negative during expiration. 

Intrapleural pressure is the air pressure in the pleural cavity and also exists between visceral and parietal pleurae. This pressure majorly depends on ventilation phase, the volume of the intrapleural cavity and atmospheric pressure. During expiration, the Intrapleural pressure in the pleural cavity becomes less negative which is commonly known as negative pressure.

The process of translation in prokaryotes can occur faster than in eukaryotes because
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Transcription and translation occur simultaneously in prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles and therefore, do not have a nucleus. Transcription and translation occur in the cytoplasm. As soon as the required length of mRNA is being formed, ribosomes join it and start the process of translation. Prokaryotic genes lack introns. The primary transcript formed by transcription in prokaryotes does not undergo splicing.

On the other hand, the process of transcription occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotes while translation occurs in the cytoplasm. The primary transcript formed by transcription in eukaryotes undergoes modifications to remove introns and to add a poly-A tail and 5' cap. Post-transcriptional modifications and spatial separation of two processes in eukaryotes result in slower translation than prokaryotes.
