Answer:

B. Genetically engineered mammalian cells

Explanation:

Herceptin is a monoclonal antibody that binds (attach) to specific antigens in cancer cells to destroy them. This antibody is used in the treatment of different types of cancers including breast and gastric carcinoma, in which HER2/neu protein is overexpressed. Herceptin targets HER2/neu receptors present in cancer cells to kill them. HER2/neu is a protein signaling receptor involved in cell proliferation, thereby this antibody works to selectively target cells that have an excess of HER2/neu receptors such as gastric and breast cancer cells.

<h2>THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM</h2>

by PierreShine

Title:

<h2>A SUGAR MOLECULES LIFE </h2>

1st entry

  • Hello, there! I'm a sugar molecule who lives in a miniature chocolate Debbie Cake! I've just lived a brief life, and today is the day I delve into the unknown, the human body's interior. I'm quite apprehensive! As the ravenous teenager rips the plastic wrapper from my body, I experience a mixture of thrill and dread as I'm brought to his mouth, readied for mechanical digestion, and immediately transfixed by the boy's keen teeth. As a thick substance called saliva tears me apart into minute molecules, I begin to feel the incredible amount of anguish coursing through my body. This must be the "chemical digestion" I'd heard about! I degrade when the boy swallows me.

2nd entry

  • I can feel the heart sphincter loosen as I pass through it. I'm waiting...and then the stomach secretes hydrochloric acid into the esophagus, creating the teenager's acid reflux! Now I'm in a muddle with hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and mucus generated by the stomach wall glands.

3rd entry

  • I'm now slipping through the body at a breakneck speed! The small intestine appears to be visible! It's like a gigantic slide, with such a small opening, yet I'll slide right in!

4th entry

  • Simply floating here and riding through the water and other fluids released by the stomach, such as hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and mucus, or chyme, which is soupy food that used to be solids.

5th entry

  • I'm absorbed into the lining of the small intestine by the capillaries, and I know I've accomplished my goal! I can see the light now.

6th entry

  • In the small intestine, the coolness is still present. I'm not sure I'll go to the big intestine; it appears that it's only for water and water-soluble vitamins. Whoa! I'm glad to see all of my sugar molecule pals here! We've all started clumping together and forming a solid!

7th entry

  • Isn't it possible that we're about to leave? There isn't much water or drink in this place! But we're being pushed! We're on our way down! I notice an opening and believe we're about to leave the body!

Which are functions of the stomata in the leaves of seed plants?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The two main functions of stomata are to allow for the uptake of carbon dioxide and to limit the loss of water due to evaporation. In many plants, stomata remain open during the day and closed at night. Stomata are open during the day because this is when photosynthesis typically occurs.
