Summary Introduction

To identify:

Reason for cells contain built in suicide genes to self destruct by apoptosis under certain conditions.

Introduction:

The apoptosis is genetically programmed and results in destruction of the nucleus and complete cell lysis and death.

a) How does Venetoclax, a BH3 mimetic, function in increasing cellular death? In your answer make sure you include what molecules Venetoclax binds and how this helps trigger cell death. b) How would addition of a BH3 mimetic increase cytoplasmic p53-mediated cellular death?
Mycobacteria are intracellular pathogens that have adapted to life inside phagocytic cells, such as macrophages. These intracellular bacteria are taken up by phagocytosis, similar to other pathogens, but the bacteria are not killed. One possible mechanism that could account for this immune evasion by mycobacteria is their ability to: Prevent induction of nitric oxide production in the phagosome Prevent the acidification of phagosomes Prevent the expression of antimicrobial peptides in the phagosome Prevent fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes Kill the macrophage before it kills them
Immune systems of animals are very complex.  For an animal's immune system to work properly, certain cells must be able to recognize other specific types of cells, so that they can bind to and communicate with them.  These types of interactions allow an immune system to decide if and when to launch an immune response. For example,  dendritic cells must be able to recognize and interact with T-cells, but they do not need to recognize adipocyte cells.  Which of the following describes a difference between T-cells and adipocyte cells that would allow dendritic cells to recognize one, but not the other?   A. Adipocyte cells must have a cell wall, while T-cells lack one.         B. T-cells and adipocyte cells must have different types of lipids that compose their plasma membranes.         C. Adipocyte cells must lack endoplasmic reticulum, while T-cells possess endoplasmic reticulum.         D. T-cells and adipocyte cells must have some differences in the carbohydrates and/or…
