Answer:

igneous rock CAN become sedimentary rock through a process called ROCK CYCLE.

Explanation:

Rocks can be defined as solid structures of minerals that are formed naturally over a period of time. They are grouped into three main types which includes the following:

- igneous rock

- sedimentary rocks and

- metamorphic rocks.

Rocks are capable of transforming from one type to another through a process known as rock cycle. There are two forces that brings about this process which includes:

- The internal force : this is the Earth’s internal heat engine, which moves material around in the core and the mantle and leads to slow but significant changes within the crust.

- The external force: this is the the hydrological cycle, which is the movement of water, ice, and air at the surface, and is powered by the sun.

Molten magma cools to form either extrusive igneous rock or intrusive igneous rock. With time they undergo weathering, eroded, transported, and then deposited as sediments which are being compressed and cemented into SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. Again through the above mentioned forces, different kinds of rocks are either uplifted, to be re-eroded, or buried deeper within the crust where they are heated up, squeezed, and changed into METAMORPHIC ROCK.

Therefore the material in this sedimentary rock found in Rhombus planet used to be in igneous rock deep in Rhombus's interior due to continuous rock cycling on the planet. I hope this helps, thanks.

Cytotoxic t cells can attack target cells with which chemical weapons?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

secrete cytotoxic substance which triggers apoptosis of target cell.

Explanation:

Cytotoxic T cells have cell surface receptor which recognizes the antigen present on the receptor of target cell. This interaction initiates the process of killing of target cell.

After interaction cytotoxic t cell release cytotoxic substance called granzyme and perforin. Granzyme triggers apoptosis through the activation of caspases or by making the release of cytochrome c and activation of the apoptosome.

Perforin make pores in the cell and its action is similar to complement membrane attack complex. Therefore cytotoxic substances are released by Tc cells which trigger apoptosis of target cell.
