<h2>Functions of spleen</h2>
Explanation:
The major functions of spleen besides filtering the blood of foreign materials and phagocytosis of old defective erythrocytes are:
- Initiate immune responses against infections by liberation of antigen and activation of lymphocytes (T and B cells)
- Secretes bactericidal agents which act against invading bacteria
- Secretes interleukins which promote the growth of lymphocytes or antibodies that act against pathogens
- Reservoir: Pools blood by storing thrombocytes, immature erythrocytes.
- Hematopoiesis: Blood cells like erythrocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes develop and mature in spleen especially during the early fetal life.
Answer:
B) difference in water density
Explanation:
The deep ocean currents are the cold ocean currents. They appear in the Arctic and Antarctic circles. As the warm ocean currents come from the low latitudes toward the high latitudes, they bring in warmer water on the surface. They start to cool off though as the near the high latitudes, so gradually they become cold ocean currents. As they become cold, the water is sinking below the less dense warmer water that is coming from behind, making a turn in the opposite direction and moving as deep ocean current toward the low latitudes. Once it reaches the low latitudes, this water will get warmer, and it will move toward the high latitudes, and the process constantly continues.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the free 3' end
Explanation:
DNA replication process produces the exact copy of DNA which requires various enzymes. The function of adding a nucleotide to the daughter strand is performed by the enzyme called DNA polymerase.
The DNA polymerase enzyme catalyses the process of DNA replication which requires energy provided by the dNTP. The enzyme adds new nucleotides at 3'-OH end of the DNA which favour the reaction energetically.
Thus, the new DNA strand appears to be elongated in the 5' to 3' direction.
C because biomimicry is the design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modeled on biological entities and processes. Also the root word “mimic” like “fake” can be used to understand this
