What is the difference between B-cell lymphocytes and T-cell lymphocytes?

2 answers:

3 0

There are different types of B cell and T cell. both are lymphocytes, a subclass of white blood cell. the T cells are mainly used in identifying antigens and releasing chemicals which attack macrophages (big immune cells which 'eat' antigens), to destroy the antigen. B cells are used in the antibodies. When they encounter a new antigen, plasma cells and memory cells are antibodies. Formed from the division of a B cell. the memory cell remembers the antigen and which antibody to use, while the plasma cell makes the antibodies to fight a particular antigen or class of antigens.
 Hope this could help you with your question. : )

Answer:

Explanation:

Lymphocytes are a class of white blood cell in the body's immune system. B-cell and T-cell lymphocytes are types of lymphocytes.

There are differences between the T-cell lymphocytes and the B-cell lymphocytes. The major differences are

T-cell lymphocytes are produced in the thymus while B-cell lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow
T-cell lymphocytes are involved in cell-mediated immunity while B-cell lymphocytes are involved in humoral immunity

Which material property is most directly related to the x-axis value at the x-intercept of the interatomic force versus distance

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mechanical properties of a material affect how it behaves as it is loaded. The elastic modulus of the material affects how much it deflects under a load, and the strength of the material determines the stresses that it can withstand before it fails

What impact did the Spanish have on the region of South America?

vichka [17]

Answer:

The Spaniards practically went to war with the native Americans in South America, such as the Inca. They also brought diseases to South America. Diseases like smallpox.

Explanation:

Then after effectively killing off most of the native American population the Spanish continued to use South America for resources and they enslaved most of what was left of the non-Spanish and mixed populations. Francisco Pizarro took a page from Cortes' book, capturing Atahualpa, Emperor of the Inca, in 1532 and Cortes was the conquistador who defeated the Aztec Empire in what is now modern day Mexico or Central America.

What is the difference between ionic compund and covalent compound

sleet_krkn [62]

A covalent bond is formed between two non-metals that have similar electronegativities.

An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Non-metals(-ve ion) are "stronger" than the metal(+ve ion) and can get electrons very easily from the metal. These two opposite ions attract each other and form the ionic bond.

If you have nitrate and carbon oxygen what can that combine with to make

WARRIOR [948]

Answer: Gunpowder

Explanation:

Gunpowder is made by mixing potassium nitrate with two fuels (atoms that can combine with oxygen atoms and release energy), carbon (charcoal) and sulfur. The oxygen atoms leave the nitrates and move onto the carbon and sulfur atoms, releasing a buttload of energy.

How are the molecular mass and molar mass of a compound similar and how are they different?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Similarities: both state the mass of chemical species and they have the same numerical value

Differences: molecular mass refers to one single molecule and molar mass refers to one mole of a molecule

Explanation:

The molecular mass is the value of the mass of each molecule and it is measured in mass units (u). It is calculated adding the mass of each atom of the molecule.

The molar mass is the value of the mass of one mole of molecules, which means the mass of 6.022140857 × 10²³ molecules. The unit is g/mol.

For example, we can consider the methane molecule, which has the chemical formula of CH₄:

Molecular mass CH₄ = C mass + 4 x (H mass)

Molecular mass CH₄ = 12.01 + 4 x (1.01)

Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 u

Now to calculate the molar mass we multiply the value of the molecular mass by the Avogadro number and convert the units to g/mol:

Molar mass CH₄: 16.05 x $\frac{1}{6.022140857 x 10x^{23} } g$ x 6.022140857 × 10²³ mol⁻¹

Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 g / mol
