Opsonization.
Explanation:
- Complement proteins and antibodies coat a microorganism and provide binding sites, enabling macrophages and neutrophils to phagocytize the organism. This phenomenon is termed opsonization.
Opsonization occurs as a result of binding of a molecule called opsonin to the epitope of a pathogen.
Opsonization helps the immune system to select and kill the infected cells instead of targeting all the cells in general.
<span>"Carrier proteins bind to the substances they transport across the membrane via facilitated diffusion, whereas channel proteins provide a pore for substances to move across the membrane via facilitated diffusion."
This is the most correct option.
The main difference, when comparing these two gates of transportation across a membrane through the same process (via facilitated diffusion or any other), is that carrier proteins bind to the substances they transport and only communicate with one environment of the cell (whether intracellular or extracellular) at the time, while channel proteins let substances move across the membrane without any binding being opened to both cell environments.</span>
Cellular respiration, on the other hand, is the process by which living things convert oxygen and glucose to carbon dioxide and water, thereby yielding energy. It does not require the presence of sunlight and is always occurring in living organisms. Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria of cells.
