An antigen can induce an immune response in a host organism. Antigens are targeted by antibodies that are produced by the organi

sm’s immune system in response to contact with the antigen. Antibodies are specific to antigens. Many different cell types are involved in immune responses. Which of the following best describes the role of cell-to-cell communication during a response to an invasion of antigens?
a. A macrophage cell engulfs a pathogen in the blood.
b. Antigens attaching to receptors on memory B cells stimulate the memory B cells to become plasma cells.
c. Antigen-presenting cells engulf antigens at the first exposure.
d. Chemicals that are secreted from antigen-presenting cells then activate helper T cells.

chemicals that are secreted from antigen-presenting cells then activate helper T cells describes the role of cell-to-cell communication during a response to an invasion of antigens.

Explanation: Antibodies are present on the surface of the cells, and binds specifically to antigens and can also engulf pathogen and process these cells presenting them to MHC class 2. This complex is activated by helper T cells to secrete antibodies and macrophages. This interaction of B-cell and MHC class 2 complex with helper T cell is cell-mediated immune response.

A protein that is destined to be secreted from the cell has a signal sequence that targets it to the plasma membrane
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A protein that is destined to be secreted from the cell:

- is targeted to the RER as a soluble protein.

Explanation:

The main function of the RER is the synthesis and transport of secretion or membrane proteins.

If you are looking for the RER you could fount it on eukaryotic cells, side by side of the nucleus, and cover in ribosomes.

A cell biologist carefully measured the quantity of DNA in grasshopper cells growing in cell culture. Cells examined during the
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

100 units

Explanation:

The interphase of the cell cycle includes three stages: G1, S, and G2. During the S phase of interphase, the cell enters the process of DNA replication. DNA replication duplicates the existing DNA molecule and doubles the DNA content of the cell. The cell accommodates the newly formed DNA in two sister chromatids of chromosomes. If a cell of grasshopper contained 200 units of DNA in the G2 phase, the cell would have 100 units of DNA in the G1 phase. The S phase would have doubled the DNA content and the G2 phase had 200 units.

A team of biologists develop a new drug, and one team member hypothesizes that the drug is incapable of freely passing across th
matrenka [14]

Answer:

<em>B: The drug is a small charged molecule</em>

Explanation:

Substances can passively diffuse in and out of the cell via the cell membrane in two ways;

  • Simple diffusion
  • Facilitated diffusion

The cell membrane allows small molecules or ions to freely diffuse across it in response to concentration difference between the inner and outer parts of the cell membrane. This is known as simple diffusion.

In facilitated diffusion, special proteins in the cell membrane, known as channel/carrier proteins binds with molecules and facilitates their diffusion across the cell membrane by carrying them through special channels in the membrane.

Hence, to support the alternative hypothesis that the new drug will exhibit simple diffusion across the plasma membrane, the drug should be a small charged molecule.

<em>Correct option: B</em>

Answer:

uniformitarianism, Fossil groups, 48 million years ago.

Explanation:

  • Uniformitarianism is the doctrine of uniformity that assumes that same environmental laws and process operate till date that has also occurred on the past but not with the same uniformity. Unlike the atmospheric that is short-lived and sudden changes over the period of time.
  • William Smith was a geologist who has noticed a certain type of fossil in a certain layer of sedimentary and igneous rock. A similar layer of strata could be found in the areas that were further apart.
  • The Permian period was from 229 to 251 million years and was the last period of the paleozoic era and is recorded for the last major extinction in the history of life in earth and it lasted for 48 million years.
