What is (are) the role(s) of complement proteins in the immune response?

Biology
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]3 years ago
3 0


The correct answers are I and  IV

There are three main effects  of complement :

1. Lysis of cells such as bacteria and tumor cells.

2. Generation of mediators that participate in inflammation and attract neutrophils to the site of infection, an event called chemotaxis.

3. Opsonization i.e. enhancement of phagocytosis.

Lysis of pathogens by complement involves the insertion of  a special substance called the membrane attack complex into the cell membrane of the pathogen which disrupts or punctures the membrane as  a result of which water  and electrolytes enter the pathogen and it dies. 

Generation of mediators known as C5a and C567  complex attract neutrophils.

How much 3M NaOH (MW=40) can be made from 10.0mL of a 10M solution?
vaieri [72.5K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

              M_{1} = 3 M,           V_{1} = ?

              M_{2} = 10 M,         V_{2} = 10.0 ml

Therefore, calculate the volume of given solution as follows.

              M_{1} \times V_{1} = M_{2} \times V_{2}

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            M_{1} \times V_{1} = M_{2} \times V_{2}

            3 M \times V_{1} = 10 M \times 10.0 ml    

                   V_{1} = 33.3 ml

or,                             = 0.033 L        (as 1 ml = 0.001 L)

Since, molarity of NaOH is given as 3 M and its volume is calculated as 33.3 ml.

           Molarity = \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}} \times \frac{1}{\text{volume in L}}

               3 M = \frac{mass}{40 g/mol \times 0.033 L}

              mass = 3.96 g

Therefore, we can conclude that mass of NaOH is 3.96 g.

How did Mendel's<br> experiments provide evidence for the principle of<br> independent assortment?
Mrac [35]

Answer and Explanation

Mendel selected a group of dwarf plants and sel pollinated them by dusting mature pollen grains onto them. He then collected the resulting seeds and planted them and noticed these seeds germinated and grew into dwarf plants only.

He also selected tall plants and self-pollinated them. the resulting seeds he observed that they grew into a micture of tall and dwarf plants. He took the seeds of tall plants only and repeated the experiments for many generations until he obtained only tall plants.

He then crossed cross-pollinated purebreeds tall garden pea with pure breed variety. He planted the seeds and observed the offsprings were all tall plants. He crossed two of these tall offsprinf from the F1 and planted the resulting seeds. the second filial generation consisted of a mixture of tall and dwarf plants.

He counted these plants and noted that the ratio of tall to dwarf was about 3:1. From this, he postulated that there are now laws governing inheritance.The law of independent assortment and law of segregation.

Valentin [98]

Answer:  The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench.

Explanation:  A chain of volcanoes often forms parallel to convergent plate boundaries and powerful earthquakes are common along these boundaries.
