Answer:

The right answer is c) Mannose Binding Lectins  

Which are known to be natural carbohydrate binding proteins and are highly specific to some sugar groups of other molecules.  

Explanation:

Lectins are widely distributed in nature and are isolated from various microorganism. lectins binds to sugar molecules on the microbial surface as potent antimicrobial agents. The Mannose (carbohydrate) binding lectins have the ability to form pores in the bacterial cell membrane which causes changes in the permeability of cells and will interact with cell wall components.

explain why a mouse (an endotherm) would probably have wider bone rings than a similarly sized lizard (an ectotherm).
____ [38]

Write in your own words:

"Since the mouse is an endotherm, it probably has a higher metabolic rate, and thus a faster growth rate, than the lizard (an ectotherm of similar size) does. If the mouse has a faster growth rate, its bones would grow more between each ring, resulting in wider bone rings."

: )

and remember that a mouse is a endotherm because it generates metabolic heat to maintain internal body temperature.
