Answer:

<u>The bacterial cell because it has the largest surface-to-volume-ratio.</u>

Explanation:

The rate of diffusion in and out of a body depends on surface area to volume ratio. The higher the ratio the greater the rate of diffusion and the lower the ratio, the lower the rate of diffusion.

This implies that small organisms like the bacteria cell expose a large surface area to the surrounding when compared to big organism cells. Therefore, small organisms depend on diffusion as a means of transport of foods, respiratory gases and waste products.

Large organisms, in addition to diffusion have trasnport systems to increase the efficiency of diffusion.

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.

Now that you have identified the components of DNA, can you describe how these components bind together to form a DNA molecule?

omeli [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is attached below.

Answer:

1. DNA is the polymer of deoxyribonucleotides that contain the nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and phosphate group. The phosphate is attached with the 3 C position of the deoxyribose sugar. This leads to teh formation of phosphodiester bond.

2. The DNA backbone consists of phosphate and sugar. The nitrogenous bases are inserted inside the DNA molecule. These nitrogenous bases are linked together by the hydrogen bonds.

3. The adenine binds requires two hydrogen bonds to bind with thymine. This provide complementary nature to the DNA molecule. Uracil is present instead of thymine in RNA .

4. The guanine binds requires three hydrogen bonds to bind with cytosine. More amount of energy is required to break their bonds.
