Answer:

Neutrophils help fight infections because they ingest microorganisms and secrete enzymes that destroy them. A neutrophil is a type of white blood cell, a type of granulocyte and a type of phagocyte.

Explanation:

Neutrophils display adhesion glycoproteins on their surface to bind endothelial and subendothelial structures. They move randomly until they find a damaged site. Unless neutrophils are activated, endothelial cells do not tend to adhere. When inflammation mediators (IL-1, FNT) activate endothelial cells, they express P-selectin and E-selectin on the surface. The expression of glycoproteins and L-selectin cause the initial adhesion of the non-stimulated neutrophil to the activated endothelium, slowing it down by rolling it over the endothelium. Activated endothelial cells, opsonized particles, immune complexes, FEC-G, FEC-GM and chemoattractants produce factors that stimulate neutrophil activation. Expressing β2 integrin (endothelium adhesion molecule) Neutrophils expand and form pseudopods. Neutrophil activation also promotes degranulation, superoxide generation, and arachidonate metabolite production.

sammy [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe

Explanation:

A facultative anaerobe is the organisms that can live in the absence of oxygen but prefer to utilize the oxygen when oxygen is present in the environment.  

An anaerobic organism requires more amount of energy sources like carbohydrates because they use the fermentation process to make energy and this process results in the formation of less energy than aerobic respiration.  

All the bacteria of family Enterobacteriaceae that live in the intestine are facultative anaerobes. Therefore facultative anaerobe can thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen so the correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe.
