Answer: The complement components that is the direct cause of the enhanced vascular permeability and chemoattraction in the abraded skin area in this experiment is C5a. The correct option is C.
Explanation:
When the investigator gently abrades the skin from the flank of a mouse, creating a 1 × 2-cm skin window, the investigator caused a mild tissue damage which leads to a complex series of events resulting in the repair of the damaged tissue. These events are collectively called an INFLAMMATION. Inflammation can therefore be defined as the reaction of vascularized living tissue to local injury.
There are many compounds that triggers specific aspects of inflammation and they are collectively called inflammatory mediators. An example is the Complement component 5a. It has the following functions in mediating inflammatory response:
- enhances vascular permeability
- it has the ability to attract other cells to the site of the abraded skin area (a chemoattractant).
Answer:
If it weren't for the warm water of the Gulf Stream, England would have a much colder climate

Answer:
- <u>TRUE:</u> <em>Percent concentration is one of the most common and basic concentration measurement used by general public</em>
Explanation:
In chemistry there are many <em>concentration measurements</em> used to describe the mixtures. Some of them are, percent, molarity, molality, and molar fraction, among others.
Percent concentration is a popular one because it is commonly understood and used by the non specialist people, i.e. general public.
The percent concentration of a component is defined as: (amount of component in the mixture / amount of mixture) × 100.
The amounts may be measured in mass units (e.g grams) or volume units (e.g. mililiters).
For solutions, mass percent concentration is:
- % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100.
And voluem percen contration is:
- % = (volume of solute / volume of solution) × 100
Since percentage is used in many profesional and personal activities, most persons use it.
For example, rubbing alcohol, that everyone buys in pharmacies, is 70%; vinager, used in the food, is acetic acid at 5% - 8%.
