Answer:

The correct answer of question 1 is option a.

Explanation:

Exposure to any infectious agent, that is, when the agent has bypassed the first and second lines of defence, it results in the activation of cell-mediated immunity.

Antigen of the infectious agent is represented to T- cell with the help of antigen presenting cell (APC) such as dendritic cell or macrophages. Activated T-cells release cytokines which attracts more and more T-cells.

In addition, it increases the proliferation of T-cells. Some T-cells convert into T-helper cells and some in T-cytotoxic cells and some in T-memory cells.

The T-cytotoxic cells digest the infected cells and T-helper cells further activate more macrophages, dendritic cells, and other lymphocytes such as B cells with the help of cytokines.

Thus, the infection is faught and cleared from the body.

The correct answer of question is option c.

Being soluble in water, the excess amount of vitamin C can be easily excreted out of the body along with urine.

A physician may be virtuous (kind, just, and honest) and still not know:

Phoenix [80]

A physician may be virtuous (kind, just, and honest) and still not know which actions are known as morally permissible. There are more ways to define "morally permissible." One is to break the words apart, to define "morally" and then "permissible." However, there is a more holistic way. In Ethics in the First Person, Deni Elliott defines permissibility thusly. Permitted [means] behavior that is within the bounds of the moral system.

The complete oxidation of glucose (C6H12O6) to carbon dioxide and water in aerobic respiration consumes how many molecules of ox

LekaFEV [45]

Answer: The correct answer is Option c.

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an organic compound reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water molecule.

This reaction is also known as oxidation reaction.

The chemical equation for the combustion/oxidation of glucose molecule follows:

$C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 molecule of glucose reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen gas to produce 6 molecules of carbon dioxide gas and 6 molecules of water.

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.
