A team of scientists placed five rocks in five separate, artificial environments. All the rocks came from the same formation and

had the same chemical composition. The table describes the environment for each rock: Rock A Rock B Rock C Rock D Rock E intermittent rain showers temperatures alternating between -2°C and 20°C frequent acidic showers that contain carbonic acid covered with algae and lichen placed in an oxygen-rich environment hot and dry environment low temperature of 35°C After the experiment, the scientists observed that one particular rock had large fractures and had split into two pieces. They also observed that, compared to the other rocks, the chemical composition of this particular rock had remained largely unchanged. Which rock most likely fits this description?

The answer is; rock A

The thermal difference and intermittent showers are the reason the rock fractures and peels. The below freezing temperatures cause the rainwater in the cracks of the rock to freeze. When water freezes, it expands causing stress in the rock. The large temperature range causes thawing and freezing of the water and this alternation causes the rock to crack in the end.

Since rocks are not good conductors of heat, the outside of the rock heats up and cools faster than the inside of the rock. This causes stress that causes the rock to peel.

Lymphocytes that destroy foreign cells or virus- infected cells are ________ cells.
nexus9112 [7]

Lymphocytes that destroy foreign cells or virus- infected cells are cytotoxic T  cells.

<h3>What is cytotoxic T cell?</h3>
  • A particular class of immune cell that is capable of eliminating specific types of cells, such as virus-infected cells, cancer cells, and alien cells.
  • To destroy cancer cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes can be isolated from other blood cells, cultured in a lab, and then administered to a patient.
  • White blood cells and lymphocytes both fall under the category of cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
  • It is also known as a killer T cell and a cytotoxic T cell.
  • The helper T cell and the cytotoxic T cell are the two main subtypes of T cells.
  • Helper T cells, as their names imply, "assist" other immune system cells, whereas cytotoxic T cells "kill" virally-infected cells and tumours.
  • The TCR cannot directly bind antigen, unlike an antibody.
