Solutions

Expert Solution

Mast cells, NK cells and dendritic cells are phagocytic cells
These cells protect body by killing foreign microbes which enter our body.
Options B,C and D are correct

Eicosanoids aids in inducing apoptosis in a virally infected cell.
The two classes of eicosanoids, prostaglandins, and lleukotrienes help in this process
Option B is the answer

Eosinophils are special cells which recognize and kill extracellular parasites by inducing cytotoxic responses.
Option C is the answer

The cell membranes of mammalian red blood cells are permeable to urea. If red blood cells are dropped into a solution of urea that is identical in osmotic pressure (isosmotic) to the cytoplasm of the cells, although the cells do not swell and burst as quickly as when they are dropped simply into pure water, they eventually swell and burst. Explain. Also discuss how you would design a solution into which red cells could be placed without ever swelling. (Hint:...
