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.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

A plant leaf is a photosynthetic organ of the plant which contains the chlorophyll pigment. The plants have the ability to form new leaves or young leaves when the older leaves shed away.

The younger and older plant leaves can be distinguished on the basis of their color.

The younger leaves as they grow to appear darker due to the presence of higher number of chlorophyll pigments which imparts green color. But as the leaves got older, the color of the leaves changes to yellow as they necrosis leads to the death of the leaves and the anthocyanin pigment imparts yellow color.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
