Answer:

d. a system that enhances the destruction of bacteria through the activation of mast cells, lymphocytes, and phagocytes

Explanation:

Mast cells are white blood cells (i.e., lymphocytes) that form part of the immune system. These cells form part of the first line of defense against pathogenic organisms. Some of the most important phagocytic cells that function to protect the body by ingesting pathogenic agents (e.g., harmful bacteria) include mast cells, monocytes, neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells. In this regard, it is important to highlight that mast cells are similar to basophil granulocytes (another type of lymphocyte), and they are derived from hematopoietic stem cells.

Lapatulllka [165]
According to G.D Budhiraja in his book "The Natural Way of Healthy Aging," the ultimate wonder of cells is the egg cell. 

The egg cells is considered to be the ultimate wonder of cells because of its potential to form another human being. Once fertilized, the egg cell multiplies and grows, and "seems to know" just the right timing for certain processes to occur within the embryo or fetus. It seems to know when certain hormones should be produced, when it should implant in the uterus, and when the hands, legs, feet, hair, and other parts of the embryo and fetus should grow.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

C) Underwater organisms in dry land

Explanation:

The listed options are:

A) Large number different-sized footprints.

B) Plant but no animal fossils.

C) Underwater organisms in dry land.

D) Straight teeth buried below curved teeth.

Discovering fossils of underwater organisms in dry land <u>demonstrates that thousands to millions of years ago, there was a body of water such as an ocean, lake, or river in an area that is now dry land.</u> This gives important insights into what was the Earth's climate at that epoch and how it has changed throughout time.

This discovery could allow researchers to study what the conditions were at that time and why that body of water dried out. Moreover, it could lead to answers of the reasons behind the extinctions or evolution of some underwater organisms.
