8 0

Answer:

Glycoproteins

Explanation:

Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell that use phagocytosis to engulf bacteria, foreign particles, and dying cells to protect the body.

And thereby forming an internal compartment called a phagosome. This process is known as Phagocytosis.

Examples of phagocytes are monocytes and macrophages, granulocytes, and dendritic cells.

Glycoproteins are known to be proteins that have sugars attached to them. They are very important because, they help the immune, digestive, and reproductive systems.

The phagocytes carry out their activities by attaching their plasma membrane to the glycoproteins of the microorganisms. This is to destroy the major activities that are responsible for the survival of the organism, and subsequently kill the organism.

If a plant cell is placed in a solution and the cell shrivels up, what type of solution was it placed in? How do you know?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: The solution was hypertonic

Explanation: The reason for this is the fact that the cell shriveled up. The shriveling was caused by water moving out of the cell. This movement is likely caused by a disbalance in solutes between the cell and the surrounding, with the surrounding containing a higher concentration of solutes. Diffusion tries to balance this by moving water out of the cell, thus increasing the concentration inside and reducing the concentration outside.

What letter represents summer where you live?
AURORKA [14]

I live in letter D in summer and letter B in winter.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

In the diagram the letter D represents the summer solstice and the letter B represents the winter solstice. But the letter A and C represents the equinoxes that are present in the month of March and September. Here in India the country lies above tropic of Cancer. So the condition here is like the temperate region. So during summer the sun's rays directly fall on the country as well as during winter the country receives oblique sun rays. Thus from the diagram we can see see that the letter B represents the condition of earth when the sun's rays are not directly falling on earth. So it's winter solstice .

In the letter D we can see that the earth is going through the summer solstice because sun's rays are directly falling on the earth. So it's summer at that time.
