Answer:
A chromosome is an organized package of DNA found in the nucleus of the cell. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes--22 pairs of numbered chromosomes, called autosomes, and one pair of sex chromosomes, X and Y.
Explanation:
hope this is right for you.
Answer:
The ecological footprint is a method promoted by the Global Footprint Network to measure human demand on natural capital, i.e. the quantity of nature it takes to support people or an economy.[2][3][4] It tracks this demand through an ecological accounting system. The accounts contrast the biologically productive area people use for their consumption to the biologically productive area available within a region or the world (biocapacity, the productive area that can regenerate what people demand from nature). In short, it is a measure of human impact on the environment.
Footprint and biocapacity can be compared at the individual, regional, national or global scale. Both footprint and biocapacity change every year with number of people, per person consumption, efficiency of production, and productivity of ecosystems. At a global scale, footprint assessments show how big humanity's demand is compared to what Earth can renew. Global Footprint Network estimates that, as of 2014, humanity has been using natural capital 1.7 times as fast as Earth can renew it, which they describe as meaning humanity's ecological footprint corresponds to 1.7 planet Earths.[1][5]
Ecological footprint analysis is widely used around the world in support of sustainability assessments.[6] It enables people to measure and manage the use of resources throughout the economy and explore the sustainability of individual lifestyles, goods and services, organizations, industry sectors, neighborhoods, cities, regions and nations.[2]
Hello, I figured your question was missing its options so I went online to find them. Here they are:
The process of phagocytosis involves all of the following EXCEPT
:
a. adhesion.
b. secretion of cytotoxins.
c. elimination.
d. vesicle fusion.
e. chemotaxis.
Answer:
The correct answer is: b) secretion of cytotoxins.
Explanation:
Phagocytosis is a mechanism performed by cells in which the plasma membrane engulfs a large particle. Phagocytosis is used by cells in the immune system to ingest pathogens like viruses and bacteria.
Phagocytosis consists of many steps:
- activation
- the phagocytes that were resting are activated in the inflammatory response when a pathogen enters the body.
- chemotaxis - this refers to the process in which the phagocyte moves to the pathogen by following the chemical factors released by these germs.
- adhesion - the phagocyte attaches to the pathogen.
- ingestion
/vesicle fusion - the phagocyte sends pseudopods to engulf the pathogen, and places it in a phagosome, which is an endocytic vesicle. The phagosome and the phagocyte will fuse so the pathogen gets inside.
- elimination - the pathogen is destroyed in the phagocyte by the lysosomes present in it.
<u>The</u><u> secretion of cytotoxins</u><u> is not a part of the phagocytosis, and is a process exclusive to </u><u>T cells</u><u> (leukocytes that lack the ability to phagocyte).</u>
