Answer:

The correct answer is b. Neutrophils

Explanation:

Neutrophils are the cells that first reach to the infection side and kills the bacteria. Neutrophils comprises most part of WBCs approximately 50-70% of total WBCs. Neutrophils kills the foreign bacteria by engulfing them and this process is called phagocytosis.

The engulfed bacteria is called phagosome and phagosome then fuse with lysosome making phagolysosome. Now fused lysosome secrete lytic enzymes like proteases, lipases and glycosidases which kills the engulfed bacteria by digesting them.

So neutrophils will be the first cells migrates to prevent bacterial infection in the hand of 20 year old boy who shoots his hand with nail gun.

Glucose is an important biomolecule. Which of these statements is true regarding the movement of glucose into and out of cells?
Charra [1.4K]

II and IV are the true statements.

Explanation:

As the glucose molecules are too large it is not allowed by the cell membrane to pass through general diffusion. It requires "facilitated diffusion" to "move in and out" of the cell. In this passive mode of transport, the protein of carrier is used to pass the molecules through the membrane without using the energy of the cell rather the concentrate gradient provides energy to make the molecules move. This gradient allows the molecule to pass from high concentration area of the cell to the low concentration.

Which might be considered a limiting factor to the amount fish in a lake *
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

D). Choice 2 and 3

Explanation:

Given the options above, the limiting factors are both the "Amount of water in the lake" and the "Temperature of the lake"

This is because the amount of water in the lake can only carry as much of the number of fishes as possible it can contain or sustain. This implies that the higher the water content in the lake the higher the number of fishes it can contain and vice versa.

Also, the temperature of the lake is a limiting factor because the temperature of the lake supports the light penetration to the fishes in the water. Should the temperature increases beyond the highest level the water can support, the fishes will die.
