d) A and C |
Homework Answers
The answer is - d) A and C.
Bacteria adapt different defensive mechanisms to protect themselves against phagocytosis by WBC’s. Formation of the polysaccharide capsule is one of the defensive mechanism seen in Streptococcus pneumonia and Klebsiella pneumonia that let them escape phagocytosis by WBC. The capsule formation blocks the binding of the receptors on phagocytes with the bacterial cell wall. To be more specific the C3b (acts as an opsonin) components of the bacterial cell wall of Streptococcus pneumonia are masked by the capsule due to which the C3b receptors on the phagocytes couldn’t detect it. Whereas in Klebsiella pneumonia there are various virulence factors like the capsular polysaccharide, hypercapsule formation, lipopolysaccharide, pili which help them escaping phagocytosis.

Pathogen response (PR) proteins are produced by plants to defend themselves against pathogens. In the absence of pathogens, repressors block the production of PR proteins. Genes encoding PR proteins are regulated indirectly by ethylene, which is released in response to pathogen attack. Receptor molecules on the endoplasmic reticulum bind ethylene and cause the repressors to be nonfunctional. If you wanted to artifically increase the production of PR molecules, which of the following might work? a block the function of repressor...
