Answer: E. Triglyceride

Explanation:

Abnormality in the normal metabolic process may lead to the accumulation of the triglycerides in the hepatocytes of the liver. These can be seen as the clear spaces in the cytoplasm of the liver cells. This can be diagnosed with the routine H and E stain test.

The calcium shows dark blue to purple color, hemosiderin shows yellow brown color, lipofuscin shows golden brown color.

What is the relationship between transpiration and water intake?
Novay_Z [31]
Transpiration is the process where water evaporates from the pores of leaves. Because of the charges of water molecules (I don't know the specifics), the evaporation of water molecules leads to others being pulled up the xylem tubes towards the leaves - hence transpiration is a necessary evil because it involves constant water loss, but is also useful for providing water for photosynthesis, support of cells by osmotic intake of water and cooling for optimum enzymatic efficiency.

Therefore as transpiration increases (which will be if temperature is high to cause more evaporation, windspeed is high to carry water vapour away and humidity is low so diffusion of vapour away from the leaf is more favourable), the intake of water will also increase because it is literally pulled up the xylem tubes from the roots to the leaves.

That's how I understand it anyway :)

I hope this helps

Please match the white blood cells with the statements that most accurately describe them to test your understanding of the beha
Artyom0805 [142]

Following are the statements:

1. Main phagocytes in circulation

2. Like eosinophils, they are involved in inflammation and allergic reactions

3. Phagocytic cells that leave circulation and differentiate into macrophages

4. Display no antigen specificity but are active against tumor and virally infected cells

Answer:

1. Neutrophils

2. Basophils

3. Monocytes

4. Natural killer cells

Explanation:

Neutrophils can be described as the most abundant type of white blood cells. They make up to 55%- 75% of the immune system.

Basophils can be described as white blood cells which are made in the bone marrow.

Monocytes can be described as white blood cells which are the largest and differentiate into macrophages and myeloid lineage dendritic cells.

Natural killer cells can be described as white blood cells which play a role in providing innate immunity.
