Answer: A few hours

Explanation:

A gunshot residue is a powdery discharge of a firearm which consists of unburned or partially burned primer and propellent mixers which are used in the cartridge case to propel out the projectile with force exerted by the gases produce after burning of the powder charge. This residue gets deposit over the hands of the shooter, clothes of the shooter or the target and the nearby firing region.

The gunshot residue remains for few hours on a shooter's hand. The powder discharge can easily be cleaned and this can be collected by using tape, swabing or by washing the hands with suitable solvents.

saul85 [17]

The action of phagocytes doesn't happen at any certain temperature. No specific sort of lymphocyte is produced as a result of it. It doesn't react to any particular hormone.

The process of phagocytosis begins with attachment and ingestion of microbial particles into a bubblelike organelle called a phagosome. Once inside the phagocyte, the phagosome containing the microorganism joins with a lysosome, which contributes enzymes. The fusion of phagosome and lysosome results in a phagolysosome. Microorganisms are destroyed within minutes, and the microbial debris is eliminated from the cell in the process of egestion.

Carbon dioxide enters plants through the plants' leaf. 

Carbon Dioxide enters the leaf through the stomata, which are openings on the underside of the leaf where the exchange of gases occur. Stomata take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen in the form of water vapour.
