The best answer is B - Proteins.
Proteins make up enzymes, or to put it another way enzymes are made up of protein. It is enzymes that speed up the chemical reactions. Enzymes are organic catalysts, substances that speed up a (biochemical) reaction but do not take part in the reaction and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.
In man, there are many enzymes. The majority of these are found in the digestive system where they greatly aid the process of food breakdown from complex molecules to simple molecules. Examples include salivary amylase found in saliva, which begins the gradual breaking down of starch into glucose right from the moment food is placed in the mouth and mixed with saliva. Pepsin in the stomach breaks down protein.
Following are the statements:
1. Main phagocytes in circulation
2. Like eosinophils, they are involved in inflammation and allergic reactions
3. Phagocytic cells that leave circulation and differentiate into macrophages
4. Display no antigen specificity but are active against tumor and virally infected cells
Answer:
1. Neutrophils
2. Basophils
3. Monocytes
4. Natural killer cells
Explanation:
Neutrophils can be described as the most abundant type of white blood cells. They make up to 55%- 75% of the immune system.
Basophils can be described as white blood cells which are made in the bone marrow.
Monocytes can be described as white blood cells which are the largest and differentiate into macrophages and myeloid lineage dendritic cells.
Natural killer cells can be described as white blood cells which play a role in providing innate immunity.
Answer:
Astrocytes.
Explanation:
Astrocytes are the star shaped cells that are present in the brain and spinal cord. The exact constitution of astrocytes in the brain is not known and almost 20% to 40% astrocytes are present in brain.
The astrocytes acts as the blood brain barrier and involved in the process of brain scarring. Astrocytes also regulate ions concentration by propagating the calcium ion channels in response to the stimulus. Astrocytes also generate a response by the calcium dependent release of glutamate.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
