Answer:
The given blank can be filled with interferons.
Explanation:
The signaling molecules or the proteins that get discharged by the cell infected by the virus to protect the adjacent cells by stimulating a safeguarding defense mechanism are termed as interferons.
The mentioned proteins obstruct the proliferation of viruses and thus helps the cell in getting rid of the infection. These molecules also assist in stimulating the macrophages and the natural killer cells.

hope I Helped
400x because you have to multiply that 40 by that 10
Answer:
c. They lack lignified vascular tissue
Explanation:
We know that forest consists of tall trees. In the tall trees the water and minerals are transported to the every part of tree through the lignified vasucular tissue. This tissue not only helps in transport within the tree but also provides some sort of mechanical strength due to the presence of lignin it its walls. On the other hand bryophytes are non-vascular plants which means they lack vascular tissue and thus a mechanism for long distnace transport of water and minerals is absent in them. So they can't be taller as a tree and thus can't form forest.
