Explanation:

Carbohydrates are organic molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates can be classified into three types: monosaccharides (e.g. glucose), disaccharides (e.g., lactose), and polysaccharides (e.g., starch). Cellulose is a carbohydrate where many glucose rings chain together, while chitin is a polysaccharide consisting of chains of modified glucose molecules.

Lipids represent a diverse group of organic molecules that include, among others, fats, waxes, oils, hormones, etc. Lipids play a role by insulating (and protecting) the body. For example, there is a layer of fats beneath the skin which enables to maintain body temperature relatively constant. In animals, lipids constitute about 50% of the mass of cell membranes. These membrane lipids are mainly phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol. There are hormones that derive from lipids such as steroid hormones, which derive from cholesterol. Some examples of steroid hormones are testosterone, estrogen and cortisol.

What happens after activation of T cells<br>​
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Helper T cells are arguably the most important cells in adaptive immunity, as they are required for almost all adaptive immune responses. They not only help activate B cells to secrete antibodies and macrophages to destroy ingested microbes, but they also help activate cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells.

Explanation:

Helper T cells become activated when they are presented with peptide antigens by MHC class II molecules, which are expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Once activated, they divide rapidly and secrete cytokines that regulate or assist the immune response.
