<h2>Mast Cells </h2>

Explanation:

  • Cytokines are those molecules that are used for cell signaling, or cell-to-cell communication
  • Cytokines can be used to communicate with neighboring or distant cells about initiating an immune response
  • Cytokines are also used to trigger cell trafficking, or movement, to a specific area of the body
  • The innate immune system is made of defenses against infection that can be activated immediately once a pathogen attacks
  • Mast cells are found in mucous membranes and connective tissues, and are important for wound healing and defense against pathogens via the inflammatory response
  • When mast cells are activated, they release cytokines and granules that contain chemical molecules to create an inflammatory cascade
  • The cytokines released during this process act as a messenger service, alerting other immune cells to make their way to the area of infection or to be on alert for circulating threats

An igneous rock is found on the ground and has no identifiable crystals. What is the most likely origin of this rock?molten mate
quester [9]

The answer would be: <u>Molten material that cooled quickly.</u>


Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of molten material. So we can cross out the last two choices. The rock has no identifiable crystals so it is most likely an Extrusive igneous rock. They form on the surface where they cool quickly.


Those that form underground are called intrusive rocks. They cool slowly allowing enough time for crystal formation.

Explain the chemical properties that cause water to have a relatively high specific heat and how that, in turn, affects water's
RideAnS [48]
Water is a polar molecule bcz oxygen bears partial negative charhe and hydrogen bears partial positive charge. This results in extensive hydrogen bonding btween water molecules. The temperature is another way of saying the average kinetic energy of gases liquids or vibration for the case of solids. The Heat Capacity is the ability of matter to absorb thermal energy. Water's specific heat is defined as one. Water has high heat capacity because it can store heat in many ways. Which makes its capacity higher than anything
