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.

Even though scorpions are related to spiders, there are many differences between the two organisms. One difference is that scorp

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The correct answer is - tissues.

Explanation:

The tissue is an organization of the cells to work together to perform a specific type of function in an individual organ or body system of an organism. The skin cells of the scorpion also organize together to play the role of hard covering that helps the scorpion to be protecting.

This organization of cells is known as carapace which is a tissue made up of cells together to protect scorpion as tissue is a group of similar cells working together.

using the process of bacterial transformtion, a student reseacher inserted a plasmid containing a gene for antibiotic resistance

Elena-2011 [213]

Transfer of newly created plasmids to e coli. The bacteria that contains a plasmid with antibiotic resistance will grow in the presence of antibiotic concludes that the insertion was successful.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The plasmid DNA that contains the foreign DNA when integrated with the competent bacteria which is e coli and heated, plasmid DNA will be entering into the bacteria by means of some smaller pores that are created in the membranes of the cell.

The plasmid DNA will be copied many times with the help of the replicating mechanism of DNA of the bacteria. Bacteria will grow on a nutrient rich food called agar after the transformation process. Those bacteria that contains a plasmid containing antibiotic resistance only grow in the antibiotic presence. Transformed bacteria will then grow in larger quantity.

Structural differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Nina [5.8K]

Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, rather the DNA floats freely in the cytoplasm. Also, prokaryotes are much smaller than eukaryotes, and are typically bacteria or eubacteria.

Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles and nucleus, and are larger than prokaryotes. Some examples of eukaryotes are plant and animal cells. Hope this helps! :)
