____________ is the process by which cells interact and attach to neighboring cells through specialized molecules of the cell surface.

____________ is the process by which cells interact and attach to neighboring cells through specialized molecules of the cell surface. Correct Answer Cell adhesion

The process by which cells interact and attach to each other is termed as cell adhesion. This is done through specialized cells on their surface. Cell adhesion could either be due to direct contact between the surfaces of the cells or by indirect interaction, in which cells attach to the extracellular matrix (ECM).

A solid-oxide fuel cell is fed with carbon monoxide and reacts with air to produce CO2. This reaction will produce 2 electrons which are used to power an electric circuit external to the fuel cell. The reaction equation is shown below: 2CO(g) + O2(g) -> 2CO2(g) ΔHr° = -565.96 kJ/mol This reaction does not occur for other types of fuel cells which use a catalyst, such as polymerelectrolyte membrane or phosphoric-acid fuel cells. The presence of carbon monoxide on the anode side of these types of fuel cells will cause catalyst poisoning, reducing the efficiency and voltage of the fuel cell. Determine the rate of enthalpy change for a carbon dioxide production rate of 208 mol/hr. The extent of the reaction occurring in the fuel cell can be obtained by the following equation: where:
Choose the correct combination of True (T) and False (F) statements about microcarriers used in animal cell culture.
P. Higher cell densities can be achieved using microcarriers.
Q. Microcarriers increase the surface area for cell growth.
R. Microcarriers are used for both anchorage- and non-anchorage-dependent cells.
S. Absence of surface charge on microcarriers enhances attachment of cells.
