Answer:

True

Explanation:

RNA interference is one of the cell's mechanism to regulate gene expression. Two classes of RNA, micro RNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) are responsible for post transcriptional gene regulation. RNA interference can also help to fight against viral infection. They prevent the transcription of viral gene and in some cases also lead to its degradation by initiating attack from various protein complexes called as ribonucleases.

The adoptive response majorly done by two types of cells such as B and T cells.

This type of immune response use past experience identify a specific foreign threats and counteract them when these threats reappear.

The humoral immune system is activated by external macromolecules  antibodies, antimicrobial peptides etc. and protect the extracellular spaces of body.

What is the major difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Nataliya [291]
The correct term would be Fatty Acids because it's the Fatty Acids found in fat that are Saturated or Unsaturated. The biggest difference I know to exist between them would be that Saturated Fats consist of SINGLE bond and Unsaturated fats consist of at least 1 DOUBLE bond. Saturated means think in concentration so you can think of it as supper concentrated fat. Saturated fats last longer and it's harder to be remove from or body compared to Unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fats are considered good to eat if you are watching your cholesterol unlike Saturated fats which often lead to heart disease.
