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.

Which layer of the sun is shown extending into space in the picture above?
Westkost [7]

The Sun's outer gases extend far beyond the photosphere (Figure 6). Because they are transparent to most visible radiation and emit only a small amount of light, these outer layers are difficult to observe. The region of the Sun's atmosphere that lies immediately above the photosphere is called the chromosphere.

High concentrations of solutes such as sugar or salt results in plasmolysis of cells due to the onset of which phenomenon. Selec
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

Three types of solution are formed based on the concentration of the solute which are:

1. High solute concentration- Hypertonic solution

2. Low solute concentration- Hypotonic solution

3. Equal solute concentration- Isotonic solution

When a cell contains a high amount of solute concentration and low concentration of water then it results in the generation of very high osmotic pressure.

If a cell is placed in an aquatic medium then due to high osmotic potential, the water will enter the cell which will lead to the rupture of the cell membrane. This process of rupture of the cell membrane is known as the plasmolysis.

Since the cell rupture due to the generation of very high osmotic potential, therefore, is the correct answer.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

A. They were part of the control group

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, the CONTROL GROUP as opposed to the experimental group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment. This acts as a standard for comparison.

In this question, the EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE is the experimental treatment or independent variable that was added. The five animal test subjects that was injected with this vaccine are called the EXPERIMENTAL GROUP while the other five test subjects that were rather injected with a PLACEBO are called CONTROL GROUPS.
