Some xanthophylls also participate in energy dissipation such as in light conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin with antheraxanthin as the intermediate and vice-versa, which of the following statements is CORRECT?

a.) The conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin a singlet oxygen is removed with the help of co-factor Ascorbate and violaxanthin de-epoxidase under high PPFD

b.) Zeaxanthin is oxidised into violaxanthin with the help of NADPH and oxygen under low PPFD

c.) Conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin a singlet oxygen is removed with the help of NADPH and water under low PPFD

d.) Zeaxanthin is oxidised into violaxanthin in presence of enzyme known as violaxanthin de-epoxidase and co-factor Ascorbate under high PPFD

Stem cells are defined by two capacities:

(1) the ability to regenerate or “self-renew” and

(2) the ability to differentiate into all diverse cell types. Embryonic stem cells have the capacity to generate every specialized cell type in an organism, in other words,

For innate and adaptive immunity to work together, these two systems must be able to communicate with one another. This communication is achieved by both cell-cell contact and by soluble messengers. Most of these soluble proteins are growth factor–like molecules known by the general name cytokines. Which of these molecule can work as communicator between innate and adaptive immunity?

Host-pathogen interactions are an ongoing arms race; pathogens evolve to express unique structures that avoid host detection, and the host germline-encoded recognition system co-evolves to match these new challenges. However, because pathogens generally have much shorter life cycles than their vertebrate hosts, and some utilize error-prone DNA polymerases to replicate their genomes, pathogens can evolve rapidly to evade host encoded recognition systems. Which error prone DNA polymerase is used  by human?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

viruses frequently expose unique chemical structures only during their replication inside host cells. Many of these can be detected via intracellular receptors that bind exposed chemical moieties while still inside the host cell. This can trigger an immediate antiviral response in the infected cell that blocks further virus replication. At the same time, this initiates the secretion of chemical warning signals sent to nearby cells to help them guard against infection (a neighborhood watch system!). virus is not recognised which receptor?

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (or PAMPs) are common foreign structures that characterize whole groups of pathogens. It is these unique antigenic structures that the immune system frequently recognizes first. Animals, both invertebrates and vertebrates, have evolved to express several types of cell surface and soluble proteins that quickly recognize many of these PAMPs; a form of pathogen profiling. For example, encapsulated bacteria possess a polysaccharide coat with a unique chemical structure that is not found on other bacterial or human cells. White blood cells naturally express a variety of receptors, collectively referred to as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), that specifically recognize these sugar residues, sugar residues is recognised by?
