Answer:

Almost all calcium in the body is stored in bones and teeth, giving them structure and hardness. Your body needs calcium for muscles to move and for nerves to carry messages between your brain and every part of your body.

Three sodium ions bind to intracellular sites on the sodium-potassium pump.

A phosphate group is transferred to the pump via the hydrolysis of ATP.

The pump undergoes a conformational change, translocating sodium across the membrane.

Answer:

B) Viruses are killing some of his B cells and becoming incorporated into the genomes of others.

Explanation:

Epstein-Barr virus causes infectious mononucleosis by following mechanism.

1) Epstein-Barr virus attaches to and infects epithelium of the throat where it replicates and causes pharyngitis.

2) Virions enter the lymphoid vessels and are carried to the lymph nodes. Some virions escape the lymphnode trap and are carried to the bloodstream.

3) Virions attach specifically to B lymphocytes and infect them, producing either latent infection or productive infection.

4)The infected B lymphocytes actively replicate and differentiate into cells producing random immunoglobulins.

5)T cells respond to infection and destroy the lymphocytes replicating EBV vitus.

6) Latently infected B lymphocytes become immortal. They are not attacked by T cells.

Compare the similarities and differences between the three domains of life
nekit [7.7K]
<span>Similarities and Differences
     There are many similarities and differences between the three domains. Bacteria and Archaea differ in how they gain energy. Bacteria gain energy either by being phototrophs, lithotrophs or organotrophs. One similarity between domain Archaea and domain Bacteria is that they both contain only prokaryotes while domain Eukarya only contains eukaryotes. Domain Archaea is the only domain that is sensitive to antibiotics. Another similarity between domain Bacteria and domain Eukarya is that Methionine is the first amino acid seen during protein synthesis while in domain Archaea, the first amino acid is Formylmethionine. The last major similarity between domain Archaea and domain Bacteria is that they do not contain any organelles while domain Eukarya does. A difference between all three domains is what their cell walls contain. A cell wall in domain Archaea has peptidoglycan. The organisms that have a cell wall in domain Eukarya, will have a cell wall made up of polysaccharides.</span>
