Which cell is most important for the defense against parasitic organisms ?

1 answer:

8 0

I'd say, ina general way, that the most imporant cells in defense against parasitic organisms are definitely white blood cels, the cells responsible for defeating antigens, pathogens and deseases.

Although these might be the most important ones in that specific task (defending against parasitic organisms), all the cells in the immune system, along with other non-cell things are important, since they all play a specific role indispensable in our immune system.

Explain how the data from your experiments showed that cyanide was used to poison Jared, and that 2-deoxyglucose, arsenic and ol

Aliun [14]

The question is incomplete as the background of the case and symptoms of Jarod is not provided, however, the missing data required for the question is as follows:

Jared was investigating a drug cartel and ate a meal with one of the suspects. After the meal, he had trouble breathing and felt weak and dizzy. Jared may have been poisoned. He is being taken to the CIA hospital for treatment. You are a medical toxologist working for the CIA. It is your job to find out what poison was given to Jared and try to save his life. Patient: Jared Sondheim Age: 32 Occupation: CIA Agent Symptoms: Muscle Weakness Shortness of Breath Dizziness. Jared has arrived at the hospital! It is your job to find out what toxin was used to poison Jared. You can then give him the correct antidote to save Jared's life.

Answer:

Poisning by 2-deoxyglucose syops the glycolysis process which leads to cardiovascular and respiratory symptoms. Due to property of inhibiting the enzyme reqquired for glycolysis, glucokinase. So, there is no ATP production takes place.

Arsenic poisoning inhibits the second stae of cellular respiration, the Krebs cycle which leads to pyruvate accumalation. The symptoms associated with arsenic are diarrhea, sking tone, abdomunal pain, and muscle cramps.

Oligomycin is used as an antibiotic to inhibit proton ATPase present in mitochondria membrane which blocks ATP formation. Watery eyes, cough, congestion in chest and nose are sysmptopms of oligomycin poisining.

The symptoms cyanide poisoning are dizziness, short breath, nd muscle weakness which matches with the symptoms of jarod.

10. What is the structure of chromatin and how does it affect gene regulation?

Airida [17]

Answer:

Chromatin is a substance within a chromosome consisting of DNA and protein. The DNA carries the cell's genetic instructions. The major proteins in chromatin are histones, which help package the DNA in a compact form that fits in the cell nucleus. Chromatin structure plays a key role in regulating gene expression by allowing DNA accessibility to transcriptional machinery and transcription factors.
