Answer: Cytotoxic T cells

Explanation:

A Cytotoxic T cell is a cell whose activation is mainly aimed at destroying cells that are infected by virus. It is a type of white blood cells that destroys cancerous cells or cells that are impaired especially by viruses. A Cytotoxic cell is also known as T-killer cells, Cytolytic T cells, T lymphocyte.

Cytotoxic T cells destroy target cells by prearranged apoptoses.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

The plant cell wall is strengthened by the molecular structure of cellulose. Cellulose is made up of ß-glucose arranged upside down, this arrangement aided hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen ions of the  hydroxyl group and oxygen of the of the ring   of same  betta -glucose.

The aggregation of the hydrogen  bonds give bundles of  strong tensile  strength of cellulose called the  microfibrils (of 60-70 celluose molecules).They are  held together in bundled called fibers.T<u>hese is the source of  plant cell walls  strength. </u>

<u />

Collagen is the main extracellur matrix (EM) in animal cells.It is a glycoprotein made up of 25%of body protein of animals.Each collagen molecule is made of helix shaped ,three polypeptide chains, wound around each other to form<u> triple helix.</u>The bonds  holding helix together are hydrogen and covalent bonds.

Each triple helix is attached to adjacent collagen molecule, parallel  to it. The covalent bonds formed a cross link which held  the collagen molecules together forming FIBRILS.  This gives flexibility to collagen, while maitaing strong tensile strength. This is what is responsible for the structural strength of cell membrane .

.The  EM,is  futher reinforced with  carbohydrate molecules(proteoglycans) which<u> aided in water movements by  osmosis following  sodium movements into the matrix.</u>

The act of breathing raises the blood oxygen level, lowers the blood carbon dioxide concentration, and raises the blood pH. Acco
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

A rise in blood carbon dioxide concentration.

Explanation:

The feedback regulation may be defined as the process in which the end product of the metabolic pathway regulates the homeostasis of the body. Two main types of feedback are positive feedback and negative feedback.

The negative feedback mechanism occurs when the end product of the reaction is responsible for the shutdown of the metabolic pathway and decreases its concentration. The breathing is controlled by the negative feedback mechanisms, the increase in carbon dioxide concentration acts as the negative sensor as this sensor is mainly responsible for the increase in amount of oxygen level and maintain homeostasis of the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

Describe the strength of the magnetic field at points a b and c in the image below. Explain your answers in the terms of magneti
Nastasia [14]

The magnetic fields are strongest at point A and weakest at point C. The magnetic field lines can be used to indicate the strength of a magnet or magnetic field. The closer together the magnetic field lines the stronger the magnetic field.

Explanation:

The magnetic field line also shows the direction of the magnetic field, hence they are also considered vector fields because they have magnitude and direction. They usually have an arrow indicating that the field lines are moving from the north pole to the south pole. The lines also never cross and are always in closed loops.

When thinking about genotypes and phenotypes, what is the cause and what is the effect?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

An organism's genotype is the set of genes that it carries. However, since an organism's genotype generally affects its phenotype, the phenotypes that make up the population are also likely to change.

Explanation:

For example, differences in the genotypes can produce different phenotypes.
