Answer:

The correct answer is A. inflammation

Explanation:

Inflammation is the defense mechanism of the immune system which is non-specific and part of the innate immunity of the body. Inflammation is the reaction against any cell injury.  

Inflammation is categorized by heat, pain, redness(erythema), and swelling(edema). These changes occur because of the result of the increase in local blood vessel diameter which leads to increase of flow of blood that results in heat and redness.  

The transport of fluids and proteins takes place at the injury site which causes swelling and pain. Therefore the right answer is A. inflammation.

denpristay [2]

Answer: CHANNEL PROTEINS provide openings in the plasma membrane for substances to flow through without changing structure, and CARRIER PROTEINS allow passage of substances through the plasma membrane after undergoing a subtle change in shape.

Explanation: They are described thus:

A channel protein is a protein that allows the transport of specific substances across a cell membrane.

Carrier proteins are proteins that carry substances from one side of a biological membrane to the other. Many carrier proteins are found in a cell’s membrane, though they may also be found in the membranes of internal organelles such as the mitochondria, chloroplasts, nucleolus, and others.
