Describe the cell-surface events leading to neutrphil movement to site of infection.

Elina [12.6K]3 years ago

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.

xenn [34]

Answer:

c. lactic acid fermentation

Explanation:

If we did alcoholic fermentation, working out would make us feel drunk, not sore. This is only done by yeasts (a type of fungus) and bacteria. Glycolysis is simply an anaerobic process that occurs with fermentation and also regular aerobic respiration. It doesn't cause any soreness on its own. The Krebs cycle is the second major part to cellular respiration; it produces 6 NADH's, 2 FADH2's, 4 CO2's and 2 ATP; it's not involved in creating any soreness, as cell respiration does not create soreness. That leaves lactic acid fermentation, which we, bacteria, yeasts, and other organisms do. This is what we do when we run out of ample oxygen while doing some strenuous activity. Glycolysis is done with it. Glycolysis, however, relies on NAD+ to create ATP we need to maintain the same level of activity, lactic acid is produced as it accepts the 2 electrons and [H+] NAD+  should accept.

Which of the following characteristics of plants is absent in their closest relatives, the charophyte algae?
Phoenix [80]

Answer: d. alternation of multicellular generations

Explanation:

The gametophytic as well as the sporophytic generations are alternative in the life cycle of the multicellular plants. This can be seen among the land plants. This feature cannot be seen in the algal species as they are unicellular in nature. Thus cannot be seen in the relatives of charophyta algae.
