Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct answer:

The activation of the natural killer cells is not a part of the insect immunity. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

The natural killer cells are not produced in the in case of the insect immunity.

Option (B) is given as “activation of natural killer cells”.

As “the activation of the natural killer cells is not a part of the insect immunity” it is the right answer.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

Reason for the incorrect statement:

Option (A) is given as “antibacterial digestive enzyme”.

Antibacterial digestive enzymes are produced by the insects. Since it is a part of the insect immunity, so, it is a wrong answer.

Option (C) is given as “phagocytosis by hemocytes”.

Phagocytosis is done by the hemocytes in the insect immunity. Since it is a part of the insect immunity, so, it is a wrong answer.

Option (D) is given as “production of antimicrobial peptides”.

Antimicrobial peptides are produced by the insect immunity. Since it is a part of the insect immunity, so, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The activation of the natural killer cells is not a part of the insect immunity. Immunity of insects involves various modes of reactions towards an antigen such as the production of antibacterial digestive enzymes, phagocytosis by hemocytes and the production of antimicrobial peptides.
