What is the correct definition of antibodies?
Softa [21]

Answer: The answer is  C

Explanation:

 Antibodies or otherwise called Immunoglobulin are special protein that are produced by certain lymphocytes which produces antibodies which can affect the invading bacteria or other foreign  bodies called the antigens  or other toxins in a number of ways . Certain antibodies known as agglutinins make bacteria harmless by causing them to clump together. The lysins dissolve the outer coats of bacteria, the antitoxin neutralize the toxin of bacteria  while precipitins precipitate the toxin as insoluble and therefore , convert them to a harmless compound. Antibodies are always produced by the immune system.

When trying to determine the rate of cellular respiration (an aerobic process), why is oxygen measured and not carbon dioxide
dusya [7]

Since both aerobic and anaerobic processes can result in the production of CO2, we couldn't be certain that cellular respiration was occurring.

Carbon dioxide:

Carbon dioxide is released during cellular respiration as a waste product. Cells that are capable of photosynthesis can utilize this carbon dioxide to create new carbohydrates. Additionally, oxygen gas is necessary to act as an electron acceptor during the process of cellular respiration.

There are two types of cellular respiration: aerobic (occurring when oxygen is present) and anaerobic (in absence of oxygen).

Now, carbon dioxide is emitted as a byproduct in both types of respiration.

Therefore, determining the rate of aerobic cellular respiration by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide emitted is impossible.

Therefore, to obtain the precise rate, we monitor oxygen rather than carbon dioxide.

Therefore, the correct response is that CO2 is created during both aerobic and anaerobic processes; we were unable to confirm if cellular respiration was occurring.

Consider a helminthic infection in which an individual is colonized by a parasitic worm. The worm is too big to be engulfed by a
Assoli18 [71]

Answer

The worm gets coated with antibodies, which activate other cells in the immune system to secrete chemicals that kill it.

Explanation:

Production of T-helper I cytokines like IFN gamma, IL-2 and IL-18 is highly protective against helminth infection by activating the macrophage intracellular killers. Protection against mucosal eosinophil responses in which antiparasitic chemicals are released. Killing also involves direct cytotoxic mechanisms in which T- cell and NK-cells directly release antiparasitic agents like perforin and granulysin which kill the parasite.
