Answer:

Mechanical Digestion

The large pieces of food that are ingested have to be broken into smaller particles that can be acted upon by various enzymes. This is mechanical digestion, which begins in the mouth with chewing or mastication and continues with churning and mixing actions in the stomach.

Which part of the influenza virion facilitates interaction between the virus and the to-be-infected eukaryotic host cell?
Radda [10]
The choices are:
<span>A.  Matrix protein
B.  Hemagglutinin
C.  An ion channel
D.  Neuraminidase
</span>
The right answer is B. Hemaglutinin

Explanation:
Haemagglutinins are triangular rods. They allow the attachment of Influenzaviruses on the target cells of the respiratory tree. In the presence of red blood cells, a haemagglutination (liquid medium) is obtained.
<u>About the other components of Influenza virus:</u>Neuraminidase is a mushroom-shaped spike composed of a tetramer consisting of 4 subunits of a single glycoprotein. At 37 ° C, the neuraminidase destroys the bonds (virus - cells) and thus allows the release of neoformed virions in the external environment: it is elution.
The membrane protein M and the protein subunits of the nucleocapsid are antigenic and are the basis of the classification of Influenzavirus types A, B and C. They induce the synthesis of non-protective antibodies fixing the complement.
