What innate immune component is directly responsible for the lysis of the cell membrane of invading microorganisms?

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The name of the innate immune component is MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX.

Explanation:

The membrane attack complex is a type of structure that is usually formed on the surface of the cell membrane of invading pathogens due to the activation of the immune system. Membrane attack complex is also known as terminal complement complex. Individuals that lack this immune component due to mutations usually experience recurrent infections.

<h2>Hypomorphic allele</h2>

Explanation:

Hypomorphic Alleles : A change that reduces, however, doesn't dispense with a gene's usefulness is hypomorphic. A progressively extreme condition, amorphic transformation, dispenses with the gene's capacity.
The great analyses characterizing hypomorphic alleles go back to the 1930s. Herman Miller, who won a Nobel Prize for finding that radioactivity causes changes, considered the eyeshade of organic product flies. These flies typically have red eyes, yet freak assortments can have white or apricot-hued eyes. The allele liable for various natural product fly-eye hues is known as the white allele, with the contraction "w."

Which stable element is used to determine the age of volcanic rock? argon O carbon-14 O O potassium carbon-12 Which stable eleme

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Argon

Explanation:

Argon is actually used to determine the age. It's called potassium-argon dating b/c when volcano erupts the rocks in it contain potassium. The potassium slowly decays and produces argon. Scientists measure how much argon is in a given volcanic rock and do math backwards to figure out how many potassium atoms were needed to produce the given amount of argon. We already know the rate at which potassium decays so then they put two and two together to find the age.
