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

phagocytic cell. How does the immune system respond?

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.

The amino acids of a growing polypeptide chain are held together by what kind of bond during the elongation stage of translation
kifflom [539]

Answer: Peptide bond

Explanation: A peptide bond is the covalent chemical bond  bond that holds together two amino acids which occurs when the carboxylic group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, linking the two molecules and releasing a water molecule catalyzed by peptidyl transferase, an RNA-based enzyme  integrated into the growing chain.

In the elongation stage ie when Long chain polypeptides are forming , peptide bonds  are formed by linking many amino acids to each other. These peptide bonds of amino acids are  relatively unstable, and  can break spontaneously in a slow process as can be seen especially  in enzymes of living organisms in the making and breaking of bonds.

Why dose the amount of water in a river change during the year
Marizza181 [45]
Hello! 
The amount of water in a river varies for each particular area. Whether the area has been receiving rainfall or a drought. 
Seasons also play a role; if it's Spring, you may receive more rainfall and have a higher water levels. If it's Summer, you may experience a drought, causing lower water levels.
Although that was not very much information, I thought I'd provide a small bit of information. Hope it helps. :)

Which molecules prevent cell membranes from dissolving in water?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The "tail" of the molecule is made up of two fatty acids, which are hydrophobic and do not dissolve in water. Following the rule of "like dissolves like", the hydrophilic head of the phospholipid molecule dissolves readily in water.

Nonpolar Fatty Acids

I Hope this answers your question :)

vazorg [7]

Answer:

A dimer (/ˈdaɪmər/) (di-, "two" + -mer, "parts") is an oligomer consisting of two monomers joined by bonds that can be either strong or weak, covalent or intermolecular. The term homodimer is used when the two molecules are identical (e.g. A–A) and heterodimer when they are not (e.g. A–B).
