0.96 atm
1.6 atm
8.
Lymphotoxins secreted by cytotoxic T cells (Tc) eliminate the infected cell by:
Immunosuppression
Blood plasma coagulation
Activation of certain genes within the nucleus of the infected cell, which leads to the fragmentation of its genetic material and its programmed death (Apoptosis).
Calcium withdrawal

Liquid auxins
Gum and cork
Monosaccharides
Ascorbic acid
11.
The two hormones that are secreted from the mucous membrane of the small intestine to stimulate the pancreas to secrete its digestive juices are:
Thyroxine and calcitonin
Insulin and glucagon
Secretin and cholecystokinin (Secretin & CCK)
Prolactin and oxytocin
12.

DNA Ligase
13.
Natural killer (NK) cells attack and kill cancer cells and virus-infected cells by:
Secretion of specialized digestive enzymes without the need for prior specific antigen recognition
Swallow the cells whole
Histamine secretion
Secretion of antibodies
14.

Oxytocin
Calcitonin hormone
17.
The atomic radii of the elements from Chromium to Copper remain remarkably steady and nearly constant across the first transition series because of:
The sudden increase in atomic mass
Decreasing ionization energies
The identical number of neutrons in their nuclei
The mutual compensation between the increasing nuclear charge and the repulsive forces among accumulated 3d electrons
