<span>The question says,'which statement accurately describe the function of a hormone produced by the adrenal glands? The correct option is C. Cortisol produced by the adrnal gland is called the stress hormone because it coordinates many change that occur in the body in response to stress. This include control of heart rate and blood pressure.</span><span />
D. All of the above are true.
Hello, I figured your question was missing its options so I went online to find them. Here they are:
The process of phagocytosis involves all of the following EXCEPT
:
a. adhesion.
b. secretion of cytotoxins.
c. elimination.
d. vesicle fusion.
e. chemotaxis.
Answer:
The correct answer is: b) secretion of cytotoxins.
Explanation:
Phagocytosis is a mechanism performed by cells in which the plasma membrane engulfs a large particle. Phagocytosis is used by cells in the immune system to ingest pathogens like viruses and bacteria.
Phagocytosis consists of many steps:
- activation
- the phagocytes that were resting are activated in the inflammatory response when a pathogen enters the body.
- chemotaxis - this refers to the process in which the phagocyte moves to the pathogen by following the chemical factors released by these germs.
- adhesion - the phagocyte attaches to the pathogen.
- ingestion
/vesicle fusion - the phagocyte sends pseudopods to engulf the pathogen, and places it in a phagosome, which is an endocytic vesicle. The phagosome and the phagocyte will fuse so the pathogen gets inside.
- elimination - the pathogen is destroyed in the phagocyte by the lysosomes present in it.
<u>The</u><u> secretion of cytotoxins</u><u> is not a part of the phagocytosis, and is a process exclusive to </u><u>T cells</u><u> (leukocytes that lack the ability to phagocyte).</u>
Here is the answer that would best complete the given statement above. Biotechnology raises ethical questions, primarily concerning the <span>ways in which knowledge should be used. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for. Have a great day!</span>
<span>A light year refers to a very big amount of distance and is a measurement termed as an astronomical unit of measure. When you say that a galaxy is 5,000 light years away we are actually describing the speed of light within a year. One light year is actually equivalent to 9, 500, 000, 000, 000 kilometers. Just imagine how big or how far that galaxy is when you multiply those kilometers by 5,000?</span>
