Answer:  B. secrete enzymes that kill bacteria

Explanation:

Paneth cells, so-called because they were first described by Dr. Josef Paneth in 1888, are pyramidal cells, with the nucleus in the basal position, and with large granules in the apical position. Its first isolated specific product was the lysozyme, a bactericidal substance, by Alexander Flemming. These cells play an important role in innate immunity in the small intestine, producing a wide diversity of antimicrobial peptides and enzymes such as lysozyme itself, cryptidines, defensins and a lectin with bactericidal properties.

Which of the following correctly compares Ornithischian and Saurischian dinosaurs?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The option c is partly correct.

Explanation:

None of the statements is completely accurate because:

a. Saurischian dinosaurs include theropod and sauropod dinosaurs, and their common ancestors. Ornithischians comprise neornithischians (ornithopods and ceratopsians), thyreophorans (ankylosaurs and stegosaurs) and heterdontosaurids.

b. Capability to fly has only been documented in fossils belonging to Saurischia (where the birds are also classified in). Feathers, on the other hand, do appear in the two clades. Feathers, however, are not a trait exclusively associated to flight.

c. This is a correct comparison between ornithischians and saurischians in the sense that the attributes do belong to these clades, but when comparing animals there most be a comparison that reflects a pattern. Ornithischians have leaf shaped teeth suited to eat plant material, whereas saurischians have teeth for a carnivore and herbivore diet.

d. Sauropods are saurischians and they evolved herbivory from a meat-eater ancestor.

What is the function of the water monitor lizards claws
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Claws. These strong, curved claws can tear flesh and inflict fearsome wounds. Water Monitors eat only meat and sometimes tackle prey nearly their own size. Claws may allow the Arboreal taxa to physically separate themselves from the larger monitors of the savannah by living in trees, eliminating them as competition and potential predators.
