Macrophages acts as the first line of defence by engulfing pathogens identified by antigens which will now present the antibody shape to a helper T cell.

The Helper T cells produce a signal to plasma and Memory B cells to yield antibodies that attach to the antigens. The cytotoxic cells that leads to cell death are activated by the helper T cells.

Antibodies helps to immobilize pathogen for macrophage to feed on.

if the pathogen comes back a 2nd time the memory cells helps in quick and efficient recovery by producing the specific B and T cells for the antigen.

What are the differences in the dynamics of microtubules and actin filaments?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Microtubules, like actin filaments, are dynamic structures: they can grow and shrink quickly by the addition or removal of tubulin proteins. Also similar to actin filaments, microtubules have directionality, meaning that they have two ends that are structurally different from one another. I hope this helps :)

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

This is what we call Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

If the bowler is rolling a ball, let's say 5 LBS, It should travel at normal speed.

The speed is also dependent on how the bowler throws the ball.

If they were to change the weight of the ball. It would most likely slow the ball down more, as it would be too heavy to go as fast if it was a lightweight ball.

It's like a person. The bigger and heavier they are, the slower they will move with their own consecutive speed. If they are lighter, they'll most likely go faster
